Hi folks,
First, thanks for the help. I hope this is going out to all concerned;
I'm not used to responding to lists.
I think Debian installed fine, it's ME that has the problems. The
responce you've sent so far will get me started. Booting into Mate might
not be a big issue. Yesterday afternoon I fired up that old laptop and it
came up asking for the user name and password. I entered them hitting
return after each. Got stuck there. I'll work around with the advice
you've given so far. Moving to a console, I assume it will want me to log
in again; it does in my other computers. If there is no speech at that
time, will it come up after logging in?
Again, thank you much.
