Is 9.10 Desktop not the current version, and I am using alive version (on USB 
Stick)

Guilty I did not get the book, I did google the prob and followed a "step-by-
step" guide with big pictures for newbies and idiots

but I "thought" that a simple install (*answer the Q's from the script, click 
instal) should not be beyond a new user, once I start using it as main OS I may 
well have probs that require more research

On my other lists that is RTDM but we give new commers a bit of lattitude

Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.
