But may I add and hope you are talking about my system , I am using a
Dell lap top purchased during 2006 with (bio date not remembered yet
,and later the bio date status changed without my knowledge, some time
back). I am not a tech/ expert ,but experiment with all type linux and
different flavors of ubuntu .What I know is bios not reboot
automatically ,every time i open system, i have to reset bio. The system
has very severe remote interference and do not have a stable status.

Becasue of my driving experience (ignorant certainly), I manage some
how this desktop and run things.:-)
