My apologies to the OP/Erik/all. Point well taken & I'll try to add more
info in the future.

That said, I've found the http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu:(version) to
be extremely helpful. Whenever I have a basic question about something I
always check there first to see if the info I need is in that page. My
purpose for pointing the OP there is: 1) the instructions are much more
complete than simply "apt-get etc" in many cases, 2) there is always
something else in there that I find useful beyond what I initially
looked at, and 3) it's a useful & handy page (IMHO) to bookmark and
refer to.
