Hi all
Thanks for the suggestions I decided to take a chance and boot from a live DVD / It installed and I am now running L.Lite 2.6 / but I have lost my windows installation / and the partitions it was on have been used by Linux / plus I have lost about 4GB of disk space.
During setup there was no option to install alongside Windows and there was no option to choose partition sizes so all in all it could have been a lot worse / at least i've got a running Linux system.
Now there is a downside to all this
Problems with some keys on the keyboard not funtioning properly ie:- showing wrong characters / also a keyring password window keeps poping up asking for a password ?
It says "an application wants access to the keyring "Default Keyring" but it is locked". ( any ideas on this)
Also I have to manually connect to the Wi-Fi on every bootup.
I have tried to change keyboard language to English UK but it reverts back to English US / there must be a way to do this i'm sure.
any way it,s on and running / albeit not very good at the moment / needs a bit of work / any ideas.
Thanks for your support.
