I cant find any log files - any clues on how to ferret the problem out?

As you may know, I have been considering Xubuntu as distro when I
upgrade my desktop soon (this is as a fresh install). My current distro
is no longer supported. I am busy preparing for it.

However, after a lot of researching and testing via VBox I have decided
to go with Mint Maya Xfce. I prefer it to Xubuntu plus it is a LTS
version until 2017.

Just a thought for you. If you are having problems with Xubuntu, how
about looking at Maya?

See you Saturday,

It turns out the install problem is down to the slide show the stupid install disk tries to run If you delete the app for the slide show and then do an install the install runs smoothly and it takes about 20 minutes to get the machine up and running! And now to see how it performs with some real work...
