Rage is what comes next.

I had a 'font' problem. Some default system font had been overwritten at some stage. I'm not sure how and when, it might have been some program I installed, or some update that went wrong. I'm kind'a leaning towards the 'update' thingy.
But as this font-problem had no plausible cause, I was left quite alone with it. No answers in the forums, no correct Google answers... At the same time I had problems with my HDD, bad blocks was showing up... Could this be the cause? I'm not sure.. I've had problems with this drive before.
That, and the fact that the drive is only 10GB, convinced me that I had to reinstall on another partition.
It's not easy trying to do this manually, not when you are, still is, a noob. But I muddled along and had the system up'n'runnin.
But HELL! The 'general system font' still had a problem... Was this the ubuntu archive at : dk. Something I can't remember? Or might it be that I have a preview Breezy... I tried to find the mirror at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive but it's now gone... hmm! smells like...
I'll download a new distribution CD, and try it again..
What a pitty, I was really happy with the configuration, and just starting to get some work done, but now it's probably all 'down the drain'.

- Wrapup. I've installed Ubuntu on another drive, and with a new Breezy CD. It has no errors, and it took me as little as 2 hours to do the job. And that's including all previously installed software as well.
