Thanks. I may have contributed to the problem by inadvertently installing an AMD-based version on an Intel Notebook. I do own both types of machines and never realized that there was a difference in the install programs.. I plan to reformat my hard drive on the Intel based machine and then re-install the Intel bases Ubuntu 9.10 later today. I'll have to research how to reformat the drive however as I also inadvertently installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7 and I should switch that to the more secure 64-bit version. Best way to get rid of any hidden clutter is simply to reformat the drive and start over. Now if I figure out how to do that. I'll have to research to see if the fdisk command is still available.

OK I think I got it sorted. I simply got synaptic to look for Open
Office, and marked the installed - and bits that had failed to install -
for reinstallation. This seems to have sorted it out
