Wow!!! It just hadn't finished loading. I went away for three HOURS and have come back to find that Ubuntu-Mate has just about finished loading - not quite. But "not quite" might take several hours more. I don't intend to hang around to see if it ever finishes. I shall just turn it off and run Brian's CLI test again, just for the sake of my learning how to do the test. Ubuntu nowadays just isn't useful as a live medium. Lisi
