What I was really getting at (but not explaining) was that making OS installation CDs available to inexperienced users is not - usually - a good idea. There are too many possibilities for it to go horribly wrong, losing data etc. or simply ending up with a system that they don't know how to use. I imagine a lot of Windows users - if they got through the installation process - would wonder what has actually been installed at all.... "It's not in the Start menu" and "If I select Ubuntu when it starts, I can't find any of my stuff" etc. A new OS needs a bit of hand holding unless you know what you're getting into. That's what I meant by "unsupported". Martin -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
