Hi Fabio or To whom it may concern: I'm always having a problem with many
Linux Distro, sometimes Ubuntu - installing the Broadcom WLAN adaptor - it's
difficult to install for a first time linux user - Is there a graphical fix
to install this or any harware, because internet access out-of-the-box, is a
big deal. I have a HP-mini 1030nr netbook with Broadcom WLAN.

Also, I'm having compatibility issues with Start-up disk creator: after
successful creating Ubuntu and other Linux Distro, it wont load on start-up.
Ubuntu Distro is OK, most of the time. But, other Distro wont work on
start-up - It's hard to find a Live usb creator to run on Linux - most are
for Windows.

And the Lubuntu Distro-Maverick, will not install properly - no applications
loaded, after install.

Out-of-the-box and graphical install of hardware and fixes, is very
important to non-professional users, like me. Thanks alot for all your good
work - I love Linux!
