Thank you Selim, for taking the time to discover these links. It's much
appreciated and they will come in useful, as I think I'll just install
ubuntu, as ubuntu 10 works so the latest ubuntu system should work a
treat.
But first I'll try what you suggest, because I do like Debian.
I think I can install a base system without network access just by
bypassing some of the steps. I'll give it a larrup. Fix the other
things as I go once I get a base system on the machine.
I generally ignore stuff other than Debian. But there's no point in
doing that any more. I see now that distro's like mint and ubuntu and
others have something to contribute where Debian is lacking.
This time I almost - left windows 8.1 on the machine. But maybe
there would have been less headaches at the start and more headaches as
it went along? I manage windows 7 systems for other people and I am
quite impressed with it other than I don't know how to or if you can
make some tweaks I would like.
It's a changing world.
Anyway.
Thank you again for your effort and kindness. Will start googling for
other distros to see if they have a driver/s that will fit.
Be well,
Charlie
