Now I must think of the best way to short cut this so I don't have to type all that out every time.

This is especially so re the speed, it is incredibly fast compared to any I have used before. Except for one instance, logging off. When, at the desktop, I choose to shut down the computer it just sits there for about 55 seconds. (The first couple of times I thought something was wrong.) Then it suddenly shows a couple of lines of text and then closes down. Since everything else is so fast I cannot understand why this should take so long. I am a bit baffled as to where to look. What can it be doing for all this time? Any ideas please? Thanks NeilTry opening a terminal and sudo shutdown -h now and see how it goes. Tom te tom te tom
