Hi,

Thanks for the advise, that was my aim in the end, I am trying to see 
how many times a system can be updated (started out as 11-04!) can 
always reinstall!

Interestingly I have tried to install 12-- 3 times now fresh and each 
time wont boot after install, so I am half surprised it works at all!!
although I did get Xubuntu 12.04 on a £10-50 pc tower from gumtree ?? so 
I dont think it's an older hardware issue but might be now I have 
'learned to love' Unity!
