I have removed your instructions for the purposes of this reply email, and have printed them off so that I can study them and hopefully see what is going on. Thanks for the encouragement that there is always a way. No doubt I will get there eventually.On 04/04/17 14:00, Neil via list wrote:On 04/04/17 13:42, Neil via list wrote:I have borrowed a PS2 keyboard, but makes no difference. Maybe there is a setting on my monitor, a Dell, which makes it too slow to read input when logging on. When I was trying the PS2 keyboard, I had a message on the monitor that there was no signal from the computer. If it is fast boot which is the problem I can't get to the BIOS to change it. For the moment I am going to accept that I am stuck with the one distro on this desk top computer, and I can't change it. On my laptop I have no problem. The key F7 pulls up the choice of log on without any worries. Thanks for all the time a trouble you have taken, NeilFurther to the above, the chap who built it for me came up with one suggestion, that I could disconnect the HD temporarily before logging on. Don't know if that is a good idea, or even how to do it.Fear not, there is always a way. There is seriously nothing to be afraid of inside computers (well, except electricity obviously but that's easy to account for - unplug it first) but if you're not comfortable doing that, fair enough. Luckily, it's not critical.
