But the question still remains re memtest86: "Rather than remove it, why<br>
not remove the executable bit?" as suggested on the<br>

We'll have to leave it to Colin to answer that; personally I'll won't remove anything as the facility 'badram' may come useful however unlikely. I referred to the section on badram and to quote from the website or the info facility (both are the same)......looks 'generously useful'.<br>

But as a novice, I didn't know those all details that those packages are useful (and that's why Ubuntu provides them in the initial boot itself!!) but this fact ('that I am new') was not know to him (Mr.Colin Watson), so might have answered explicitly but anticipated some elucidations which I got! Thx to everyone.<br>
