Well, after I used FDISK from an old Win98 I formatted the drive and
installed Ubuntu. Now I can't figure out how to install the .iso for
gEDA. I guess I need a crash course. I would have thought just clicking
the installer would work but I think I need to mount the CD but have to
figure out how to get to the "root". :)
