Magic Banana, THANK YOU SO MUCH for solving my install problems!
With the new Taurinus Laptop I simply closed the top-lid putting it to sleep and then connected the ethernet cable opened it up; as I look at the opposite pointing arrows icon for connected ethernet I see my wired connection and 5 WiFi signals available - two are under my control. I would like to set my home network but I'll have to read before I commit to changing the defaults atm. The clock is after midnight and I need some sleep - I hope to hear from you again even as I immerse myself into terminal commands.
Gparted is no longer in my system settings and I need to move the /home partition to larger device...
So the install saga is concluded and now my terminal command journey begins. I can sleep happy tonight - thanks.
