The Sharp's hardware is not recognised in 5.28 when booted from a full install to the laptops hard drive I cannot get the video display working via all options available in Xorg.
If I boot 5.28 from a CD I cannot get the system to recognise any fixed or wireless internet connection.
I suspect that either 5.28 is not waiting long enough for this old hardware to respond or the drivers that work for this hardware in 5.25 are not included in 5.28.
I am happy with 5.25 so its not vital that I get 5.28 working I am just intrigued why it wont work
Cheers
Joe Rice

Are you running the regular version of Lucid 5.25, or 5.25 retro?
(5.25 retro is a special build for older hardware.)
If you're not sure, look under:
Menu / System / HardInfo / Operating System
If the listed kernel is 2.6.30.5, that's Lucid Retro.
