Hi Alkis:

I might have follow your suggestion to use the webchat.  I am a total 
newbie at that -- so I must first learn to use the Chatzilla client on 
FF.  (I don't look forward to that, but it will a useful education!)  In 
the meantime, I followed your instructions.  These resulted in a major 
step forward.  

Starting the client brought up the Ubuntu graphic loading screen.  
However, this was quickly followed by text.  After reporting:
IP-Config: eth0 complete (from 192.168.0.1)  ... rootserver  ...  
filename ... etc.
it showed:
Error: Connect: Connection refused
Mount ... etc ...
Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init.
No init found.  Try passing init= bootarg.

The client went then into the BusyBox v1.10.2 shell

It seems to me that I am now extremely close to resolution.  What 
exactly should I do with the info in the above Error message? 

I appreciate your comment about modifying files.
Thanks again. 
Jack
