Software - Support > Installing Linux Lite
A couple of problems encountered...

Hello!
Come back as often as you feel like you need to. There are a bunch of folks here who are more than happy to help.
From what I understand, LL is a relatively new concept. It is amazing that it has progressed as far as it has in such a short time. After all, Ubuntu itself is close to ten years old and is funded by deep pockets, and Debian is considerably older than that (close to twenty?).
As LL progresses, and enhancements and other more pressing matters are taken care of, if enough additional people with the necessary skills should join the development team, then perhaps some of the smaller issues can be revisited, but of course, the push is always forward.
If I ever get deep enough into Linux to create my own LiveCD, I'd probably take the things I like out of a number of different distros and call it 'Mishmash' - which, of course, would probably prove itself to be an unmitigated DISASTER!

Ok...as everything seems to be working fine, I'll just be thankful for what I've got and not play with the language options.
Thanks to everyone for the help, I'll try not to come back soon!

Hello!
You can always selectively 'remap' certain keys, to cover circumstances like the pound and euro symbols...

For some reason mine doesn't have those -- just "Switch Users", then "Lock Screen". "Help Manual" is near top under "Run Program", but it works just fine. Both US and UK VirtualBox setups have exact same listings under menu categories and in same order. (Maybe "real" not "virtual" install acts differently -- I don't know.)
Let's just forget about it. You've got it working now with "English US" and I can't seem to recreate problem. Seems pointless to waste more time on it.

gold_finger - Good morning, the "help" and "about xfce" buttons appeared just above "turn off computer" when I clicked on the "menu" button in the bottom left corner of my screen. Also some of the items in sections of the menu were either in different positions or not showing when compared to the "standard menu" I had using American English.
Meanwhile, I re-installed and left the language at U.S. and everything seems fine...but I will go back to UK English if you wish and show you the differences, I've done it 4 times now and it always produces the same result.
The only other left-field thing I can think of is that my Laptop is American, but with the keyboard set up in Windows for UK layout.
