[ale] Ubuntu 6.10 install

[Dan Lambert]

I've only had one that did like that, Mark. It was an older machine that 
had a different distribution on it, and I had to remove the partitions 
before it would load the 6.10.

It was a flaky machine before, but now it runs the 6.10 with no problem.

Good luck in getting those going!
