I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to say thank you to all of you who offered some guidance - pressure of obligations in may areas cut into my time somewhat. I have decided to give Debian a miss yet again. I really is a bit too cumbersome. I am not new to computing with over 30 years experience. A lot of that was as a system support programmer on large mainframes, programming in HEX and Assembler, so heaven help an absolute beginner.
I've got Fedora doing what I need for now and use Puppy 4 to rescue family and friends who have managed to mess up Windows. I still think that all distros ought to take a leaf from Puppy's book and give the graphics options on the setup screen. Puppy, so far, manages to identify both card and monitor capabilities correctly. Regards, P3qwestra -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
