Thanks, Andrew I don’t know if this is the reason but (as I said in my posting of Wed 4 May), I tried the two ‘installation’ commands both as user ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and root ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). This was in desperation as I wasn't getting anywhere as 'user' and assumed that I had to go into 'root' mode in order to install files. Have I irretrievably screwed things up? If so, should I start again by uninstalling/reinstalling Kubuntu?

This is very strange, when you open a terminal the default is for it to open in your home folder, /home/fred or whatever. It also shows that you've managed to copy the contents of the floppy disk into the root folder of your filesystem. This is also very strange. Only root should be able to write in the / folder.
