[BALUG-Talk] BIOS zapping bug: Ubuntu 17.10 / *buntu 17.10

[Michael Paoli]

Generally not advised to install Ubuntu 17.10 presently, at least on  
certain hardware.  There's a nasty bug that causes serious problems  
with BIOS (as
in prevents ability to boot from USB or alter BIOS settings).

etc.

Canonical apparently plans to re-release 17.10 (hopefully with a  
distinguishing point version number?) after this issue is corrected.
