glibc is installed by default however you probably needed the -dev file
which isn't.
Limewire isn't in the repo's and therefore would need you to install
 the
dependencies it needs first.
Files that aren't essential but tend to do something get listed in
 order
that you can include them in your install.

Hi

I have installed 7.10 a number of times now on different machines and no problems so far. I always do a fresh install and never and upgrade because of the problems inherent in upgrades. You can install the latest Java from application>add remove>ubuntu restricted.

Hope this helpes

Mo


Sorry, I should have added that there is an option to check the CD when the Ubuntu CD first boots up.
