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.
