I believe it often comes to two dvds.

one is often advised to make backups of it in any case. the OP can find
instructions I guess at the manufacturer's site or asking in a Windows
newsgroup.

to the OP: I would pay close attention to how to restore the recovery
partition if you do choose to back it up and it away. I've never
done any of this myself.

news:.. 

I actually get a reproducible crash every time I try to browse the newsgroup
tree - have had for several versions now (Debian Etch, Lenny and Squeeze).
Even in the days it used to work, the lack of any kind of search was
infuriating.

Yes, I also tried to delete the twm line. This doesn't change anything.

But when the Fedora loading animation disappears, the messages in the bash
are different:
....
Could not register with D-Bus aborting.
....
startkde: shutting down
....
can not contact kdeinit4
running shutdown scripts
done

Btw: "gnome-session &" works fine, I get a Gnome Desktop Environment!
 

?? That's too linux for me. I'm sorry, what exactly would I have to do?
I've no experience with Linux...

Not relevant; the "BT Home Hub" is a wireless AP.
 

Maybe. OTOH:

And I answered it: PCLinuxOS 2009. It comes with Flash and other useful
plug-ins already installed, ready to go. It's the easiest Linux distro
to use and administer that I've found: Everything is GUI based. Perfect
for Windows users and computer-phobics. Just plug-n-play. But it still
helps to read the manual.

I also answered the OP's implied question of why Linux wasn't working for
him, and proffered a solution.
 

I don't consider taking the time to read one Linux book, a "...too steep
learning curve."

Does anyone else get the feeling that this is a Windows luser's idea of a
joke on us?

Btw Sidney I don't use the menu in KDE much, I just press alt-f2 and type in
the name of the application that I want.
Konsole (a more customisable xterm clone) if I want to spend a long time
with bash ie. whenever I program.

Thanks Dave. It is strange but, out of curiosity, I tried the CD in my
second drive and it ran error-free. However I now have "bad blocks" on my
HDD which is now preventing installation. Perhaps it's new HDD time.

Keith.
