Thank you, Myriam (and others). Yes, I missed those. They describe the methods 
on the Wikipedia pages plus a few more. Unfortunately I was unable to do more 
than test my original attempt before my brother-in-law left. On his new HP 
laptop with a Turion something processor, boot time was 2 minutes with the 
correct bahaviour of the splash screens. I am surprised at the great variation 
of the same USB-Stick on different machines.

Contrary to my previous statement, the touchscreen does work with the 
live-Ubuntu automagically! Its behaviour is different than with Windows: there 
you can use your finger or the stylus supplied, with Ubuntu it works with the 
stylus, but not with fingers, an advantage for some things.

Cheers, Theo
