How do you configure IMAP in Ubuntu 6.06?
I assume you want to configure an email client for IMAP. It all depends on where your mail is at, and using their settings. You have to go to your email providers website and …configure it the way they say in order for it to work correctly. (MORE)

How do you install Ubuntu?
Get an Ubuntu LiveCD Go to ubuntu.com and click the button for "Get Ubuntu". The fastest way to get a CD is to download a CD image (it will be a .iso file), and b…urn it to a CD. The file will be almost 700Mb, which can take 4-8 hours on a broadband connection. Note that the contents of the .iso file must be burned on a disc, not the .iso file itself. To do this, you will need a CD burning application such as InfraRecorder (infrarecorder.org), which will burn the data in the .iso to disc. Boot from the CD It may be a wise idea to backup important files you don't want to lose at this point. If you intend to completely overwrite all your files and previous operating system, or if this is a new computer, you don't need to. Boot your computer with the CD in the drive. You may have to change settings in your BIOS to make the computer boot from the CD. At the Ubuntu menu, select either "Try Ubuntu Without any Change" or "Install Ubuntu". If you "Try Ubuntu", you will be taken to a working desktop environment, and there will be a shortcut on the desktop to install. Install Follow the on-screen instructions to install Ubuntu. If you are installing alongside an existing operating system and you do not want to destroy it and all your data, be sure you select the option to resize existing partitions and install side by side. Changes made after this point are generally irreversable. Once you have given the installer all necessary information and options, it will install Ubuntu on your system. Depending on your hardware, this can take up to 30 minutes, but most modern systems should install fairly quickly. Reboot Shut down and restart your computer. Ubuntu will instruct you when to remove the CD from the CD drive. When you reboot, you will see your new Ubuntu installation. From here you can check for updates (there are always updates), set up drivers for your hardware, and install new programs. To connect to the internet initially, you will most likely need to connect to a wired network by ethernet. (MORE)

How do you install and configure Lexmark X5450 under the Ubuntu 7.10?
Printers in the x5400 series are unsupported by any version of Linux, and will probably remain so, due to Lexmark's refusal to provide Linux drivers for their printers.

How do you install Ubuntu with no ACPI?
Ubuntu does not require ACPI to be present in order to work. If the kernel attempts to load an ACPI module, but finds that the computer does not support it, or is too ol…d for it to work reliably, it will display a small banner across the top of the screen for a second, and continue booting. To turn off the attempt to load ACPI, press F6 on the boot menu for the CD, and add acpi=off You may have to modify the GRUB menu after installation to make the change permanent. To modify the GRUB menu, open a terminal, and enter sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst The add the "acpi=off" to the kernel line of each entry. (MORE)
