Jerry -

Thank you for your patience.  I did get Ubuntu installed this evening.
I knew it had to be a simple solution.  It was TOO simple.  The black
square box that I mentioned.  I selected it, amazingly it put in a
checkmark!  It was all downhill from there.  Mostly I had to wait for
the computer to do its thing.  I will wait until I return to make the
Application installations.  All the basic ones in Windows Office are
easily accessed through Applications.

I will also wait to fix the toggle between Ubuntu and Windows.  Right
now, if I do nothing then Ubuntu comes up.  I have to use the down arrow
to bring up Windows.

You were certainly correct.  The only software that is required is
GPartEd.  I did not need Linux System Rescue CD.

Instructions that I found in www.Linux.com, www.sysresccd.org,
gparted.sourceforge.net, www.ubuntu.com, www.matthewjmiller.net,
www.MagicISO.com, isorecorder.alexfeinman.com, www.associatedcontent.com
were extremely helpful.  Ubuntu has good FAQ resourses and search
routines to help find what was needed.  I did find that many of my
questions were too simple for many of these resources.  Dell BIOS update
in www.dell.com was extremely helpful in getting the computer to
function properly for this installation.

I really appreciate your help.  Take Care.
