No idea where the dialog has gone, but I didn't know it was there.... so 
a definite "thank you" for the tip... just enjoyed watching it 
immensely! :-)

Not sure when I'll upgrade to Hoary... at the moment I'm very happy with 
the stability of Warty... bit frightened, to be brutally honest, to make 
the change as I'm not sure what it will do with the win4lin kernel, 
wireless card etc. etc. -- when it does happen you can rest assured 
there will be a good backup first :-)
