Sorry for the delay in getting this information to you.
Initially the installation was started from the web however, the system did
suggest that i should install from within Ubuntu as the application already
existed under Ubuntu software centre. As far as i can remember, this went
through, and I'm sure that it did actually run the software, but I'm not
sure.
Typing 'apt-cache policy bandwidthd' shows:-
Bandwidthd:
Installed: 2.0.1
Candidate: 2.0.1+CVS20090917-3
Version Table:
2.0.1+CVS20090917-3 0
500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe packages
***2.0.1.0
100/var/lib/dpkg/status
I am very new to the world of Linux so this is all very new to me.
Kind Regards
