Okay, now I'm extra frustrated. I tried to put Ubuntu on it today and it wouldn't boot from the CD. Very frustrated because I saw it boot from that CD before with my own eyes. I'm really ready to throw in the towel on this thing. Two last things I can think of:

2. I only saw 1 SmartStart 5.5 CD available on the HP website for the G1 ... if you know of a link to the bootable one I'll verify that's the one I have.
