No problem. Pro Tip: If you keep a term or two open, you will find that typing alsam<tab> is quicker than finding the kmix icon in a menu.

To tell you the truth, I just use alsamixer from the command line myself, or you could give kmix a shot if you prefer gui-style.

CafePress do custom everything, even stickers.

Here's a list.

Yes. Yes I did. /me goes off to sulk.

If you'd rather do it from the Ubuntu Cd, as DingleBerries suggests, from the command-line: sudo umount /dev/hda1 Should unmount your HDD. If you use the gparted live iso, you won't have to bother with that.

You want to create another cd containing GParted (gnu partition editor). You can resize your existing partitions (as long as you have 15g free space), and create the required parts. Just be careful, during the Ubuntu install there will be a question as to how you want to partition, do it manually and select the partitions you created previously. You can even create a mountpoint (directory where you can access your Windows partition/files from within Ubuntu), from that dialog. It's not difficult, just be careful to read the prompts carefully before you click through. Good luck. (Just an FYI, you want to create two partitions in addition to your Fat32/NTFS, a linux native (preferably EXT2 or EXT3) and a swap partition which should be twice as large as how much RAM your system has - 512Mb of RAM, Swap Partition of 1Gb).
