Also Cc'ing the LERT coordinators, since this sounds like a
potential LERT call. :)  (See http://www.lugod.org/projects/lert/ )

   To anyone in the linux support group:
    
   I tried installing linux on my laptop computer (a toshiba w/ 160GB ram,
   2048 mb sdram) and used the Ubuntu disk given to me at the last meeting
   1/18/10.  Unfortunately, linux is not booting up properly as I get a
   message saying certain componants are missing.  What is going on?  I
   followed all the installation directions given in the CD?  What else do I
   need to do to get linux working.  I made a partition on my computer so I
   could keep windows and not lose files.  Is there anyone whom I could meet
   with in person to get help w/ linux installation in Davis ASAP?
    
   Thanks,
    
   Jason
