Hi. I didn't mean to imply you couldn't do the install, just it will be very slow. I've installed Ubuntu several times without any sighted help. Getting anyone to read a screen for me is not an option either. The only creature here that can see is my cat. Although a lot of people on this list seem to be anti Gnome, I think they are being short sighted. I still use mostly console apps. I gained access to GUI apps, but didn't loose access to any console app. Kenny
