Dear Rebel:

That certainly clears up a lot of things. Then could you please send me 
the exact URL where to download Kubunto from. I got it from the Kubuntu 
download site and downloaded it in Firefox with Fresh Downloads. Thank 
you so much.

Dear Rebel:

Here is exactly where I download my "Kubuntu" (Debian) from. What went

Thank you .
