Not to sound dumb, but what do you mean it's fixed in Natty or fixed in
upstream?  How do us 10.10 users get the fixes?

As far as I know, only the OS Prober issue has been added to the release
notes.  When I installed Lubuntu, I had to do some digging to find the
solution.  I don't mind because I like to learn and I like Linux, but not
good for the average user.

The release notes did mention that the USB installer was buggy, but no
mention of a possible workaround.  (My USB - made without persistent storage
- has worked great.  I've used it several times, but only on my computer so
I don't know if it will work for others.   Still, I think it's worth noting
in the release notes because it did work for me.

I don't think the Chromium problem is mentioned in the release notes.  I've
posted the workaround that I found in the mailing list as well
as several other places.

If indeed these things are there and I just didn't fully understand what I
was reading, please accept my apologies.  Like I said, I just a use who
what's to help, not an expert.  I'll also add that I'm using Lubuntu as my
main OS.  I'm 100% behind you guys.


BTW, Have I mentioned that I get a full 1-1/2 hours of increased battery
life on my laptop with Lubuntu?  I'M LOVING IT!
