I am expecting to get a couple of SD cards in the post today. I am going to start over with a clean download of debian. I have trouble with Midori not opening properly as well as the troubles with the WiFi software and suspect there may be corruption of the SD card image from CPC. On the plus side I have written a "hello whirled" in C and it compiles and runs.
Don't know when I will get time to play, my Ma is in hospital awaiting a pacemaker op so this issue is not at the top of my priorities list.
Thanks for you continued assistance, I do appreciate it.
