Haha - so I win the prize! (Is it a medal or just a copy of another

Efficient would have been to run the live Ubuntu CD certainly - if I had
a live cd. However, I did not have any Ubuntu CDs so I downloaded the

install I chose install because if I liked it I could leave it there.

Never ever expect satisfactory performance from any CRT monitor at the

whole screen area, not just the centre!).

In Suse it is the lower right-hand corner that displays the most flicker.
