When I got the 'curiosity' I was doing it as root via the terminal by typing
in su. When the install actually worked, I had logged out and logged in
again as root into KDE. The su command had worked, as the command line
changed to display root as user. If I get it again I will do as you suggest
and paste the contents to the list. Thanks again for your wonderfully clear
explanations - you should write a newbie book :-)))
