Thank you offer of help and guidance. Is it possible to install within the winXP. I had installed ubuntu 11.10 within WinXP. It is presumed cinnamon only replaced the existing ubuntu installed thro' winXP? I had installed tesseract-ocr in the ubuntu which will not be dislocated for installing cinnamon.
