It has been pointed out that the i855 bug was in the 'Known Issues' post
and I stand corrected. It was in the 'Known Issues'. I don't know how I
could have missed it. There it was 3rd from the bottom of a rather long
list.

So, is it only me or should a showstopper bug be nearer to the top pf
the list? Perhaps it should have been at the top of the list because it
seems to me it is the only 'issue' that would lead to a complete failure
of the instal or upgrade process. Oh, and what if a relative newbie to
Ubuntu wanted the newest latest?

Again, if the open source community wants to make inroads into the
general pool of PC users it is going to have to be a bit more up front
about the problems that their OS's can cause. There are workarounds but
you have to be an expert level user to implement them and it seems that
they are not available to upgrade users or anyone who used the ISO. No
one like to see their PC bricked by an upgrade or a newer 'better'
version of an OS.
