Thanks very much for this. I have added the details to my "useful" file and it is being uploaded to Ubuntu One as I type.

I have been able to get hold of old PCs which have no operating system and I have install Ubuntu on them and given them to whoever was in need or interested. I am trying to spread the Linux word (and it's working).

So I have my machine running Ubuntu with the Home directory called "mine" and a simple password. With your help I can now change them to something more relevant.

I have learnt so much from this forum and am glad to say I have been able to put some things back as well.

You are correct. I need to learn more about BASH scripting and possible Gambas programming.

If you have anything more I'd be pleased to receive it.

Thanks again.
