well no, I only got Ubuntu breezy in Feb 2006, thats only last year,
someone installed it for me. Since then everytime I turned the pc on
and the message window opened and said there were
updates to install I always installed them. I just have not done the
upgrade to 6.06 LTS until yesterday that is.

As above I always did my updates.
Yes I would like to have 6.06, thats what I was trying to do last night.
Now I have 5.10 here on my back up drive and a screwed up attempt
at 6.06 which I cannot fix on my other drive, so how does one upgrade to 6.06 then??

Unless someone can help me in person I am not able to reconfigure X and deal
with the error msgs on the hard drive with the attempted upgrade on it so I
am stuck with 5.10 breezy here. I just can't believe its always so hard and
no it is never user friendly despite any claims, unless you have your own
personal geek to look after disasters like this for you, and you just use the system
and nothing else.

Thanks for the help
