Thanks for the reply. I do understand that when the final version of v5.0 comes out it will mean a new installation, not an upgrade. I still remember the earlier version of Lite which I used some time ago. This time I could have tried a re-boot, but decided to kill the process. And configure and fix-broken I have used before. I am watching out for the final version to be ready, and then I can start helping my friend, virus permitting. He has never tried Linux so it should be interesting!!
