The Ubuntu 5.10 installer did not recognize the network card (Intel 82573L), so I decided to try 6.04.
 
 
 
== Installation of Ubuntu 6.04 alpha Flight 5 ==
 
 
 
* Downloaded CD ISO of Ubuntu's Dapper flight 5 (http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/flight5).
 
* The installer's partitioner allowed me to resize the Windows partition down to 10 GB.  I left the IBM recovery partition alone and created three partitions for the Linux system: / (8GB), /usr (8GB), and /home (46.8 GB).
 
* The installer recognized the network card (unlike Ubuntu 5.10), and the installer downloaded a fair number of packages.
 
 
 
== Fixes ==
 
 
 
* X wouldn't start.  I changed the driver in xorg.conf from "ati" to "vesa", and that fixed the problem.
