After I got home today, and after a considerable time spent cooling down, my C640 finally decided to install Ubuntu Maverick without a hitch. Well, okay, there was one hitch: After it finished I selected restart, and it hung at this purple page for about 6 minutes. I finally decided to just do a hard reset.
Yes, it actually works. I booted in and reset the roo password so I could do some serious moding. For those of you that don't know how to change the root password:
sudo passwd root
Exactly like that, and yes, I know password is spelled wrong, that's what it requires for some reason. This will thn prompt you to enter your password, followed by the desired root password, and a confirmation of the latter.
All in all, I am glad to get this OS up and running again, it's a decent build, and offers a lot of great UI choices.
Adios!
