    Thanks for the warning, wizardous one. I will post a request for advice once the post brings my CD, assuming they bring it. From the Linux Lite shop site it sounds like some of their shipments have got lost in the international mail.

    Getting (re-)started

    Hi poorguy and I am grateful for the care you have taken over your response. I might well check out your links and work out how to create a bootable DVD if I decide to switch to a distro other than Ubuntu, for which I already have the abovementioned USB. QUOTE="poorguy, post: 61962, member...

    Getting (re-)started

    Thanks, Hansel. This is my most probable course of action. Being low on time and knowledge, I tend to try and keep things simple, though I will give the ideas lower down this thread an inspection too. Bless up ! :-)

    Crikey, there is so much information there, it's as though everyone's put their lives on hold to help little ol me fix my laptop ! I really feel most privileged and wish I could return the favour, but alas, all I could teach you is how to mess your computers up. I am sometimes called upon to...

    Thank you atanere. I will try restoring the system defaults, though I don't know anything about BIOS and if that doesn't work I will get a RAM upgrade. Til then I won't pester you any more about this sickly machine :-)
