Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I will do as you ask as soon as possible however
my installation has completely died. When I updated to the latest kernel
release and rebooted I am left with a command-prompt that says something
about initramfs. I cannot proceed in to Gnome at all and have very
limited command-line knowledge on this OS.

I intend to download an installation disc to see if there is a repair
option on it and will also have a look on the forums for if anyone else
has experienced this before I will be able to respond to your request,
so please bear with me!

Regards
Graham
