i use win98 boot disk to boot and fdisk /mbr to remove it...but my fren told me that i can do fix mbr from booting into windows command prompt...i haven;t try that tho...

how do u install the software? download from the internet and install .... you can try to install them using the Synaptic Package Manager ..it's easier and it check and install all the dependencies package when u install the application u wan ...

have u check ur package repositories? check (mark) the other repositories in the option and reload .... then search the application u wan again ....

yum is mostly for RPM based distribution, ubuntu comes with apt-get ... i think the main issue with the TS problem is the repositories ... if u dun get the repositories rite u cant find the application that u need...

like mokona say, try updating your application list, go to console terminal: -

sudo apt-get update - and grab the latest list

but synaptic package manager is the easiest way to get the application that u need, at least for me ...

and remember to keep ur system updated frequently

to go to add additional repositories: -

Synaptic Package Manager -> Settings -> Repositories

-> Select Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (binary) -> Edit -> Mark all the Components in the Channel

This is give u more application and most of the needed one....
