GC and OE
Thanks GC for the link.

From the note at page bottom 'It is always best to have a GParted LiveCD available for emergencies' have downloaded .iso and have on disk.

--------

Have just downloaded and will burn later.

I have been on that site a few times, don't know how I missed it.
Went back one to CommDocs and to try and sort out the 'Can't run Unity' when I installed - you WILL be using Classic.

I have NIVIDIA GeForce 6200A in this XP m/c!
Found that as proprietary s/w they do have drivers which have to be separately installed [comes under video!]

Anyway it detected card and installed - can now see this Unity thing.

Had a play (just) and not sure I like it, but may get used to it 'if I knew how it worked' - more play needed.

OE - I asked about GParted as saw a screenshot of yours and wanted to know why I have Two 1.5Gb at end of drive - Just curious.

Found this earlier - cough... - Think I will be content to just 'Look' for the moment.

I missed your bits about Synaptic but have seen it.
The sepositorty repository is under Apps > Ubuntu s/w Centre.

Get back to you later - had a hard day, had to take car for warranty re-recall - actually been on a Bus to-day, decorator in, running about after people etc.

Oh yes, Linux on {FF 4.0} by the way, and no refresh icon - using F5 and other keys etc...
Catch you later - Thanks again.

Oxie...
