I'm installing Kubuntu 7.10 into my ex-girlfriend's laptop, Acer Extensa 5220. Not the easiest job.

My experiences so far with this laptop and Kubuntu:
- Lesson 1. Install Kubuntu with net-availability. It actually does make life easier, and things actually works afterwards.
For "easy install", this is simple to-do-list:
- Install using english. This should prevent any language-set based bugs striking in (yet).
- Make single upgrade for starters (I used Adept): upgrade libqt3-mt alone. If it fails, then use terminal with command "sudo dpkg --configure -a" (you never use braces around whole commands in console, right?) and finish upgrading it that way.
- Install rest of the upgrades.
- Enable wlan.
- Open MP3 file with Amarok. This will help with installing some useful codecs. Some are used by Kaffeine (DVD, avi), but installation done with Amarok just helps with this.
- Install Firefox.
- Install some general fonts.
Vóila. Then I just need to call my ex that she can come and get her laptop (after several weeks of waiting, shame on me).
