They all seem to be absent, though there are quite a few of them. It's a Saturday. Slávek is usually here at the weekend, which is OK for us Debian users. :-) But people in general are sparse on the ground. You might find this and what follows interesting: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::6924 It's your time and money, and you who might be getting as pig-headed as I have been known to get, and you who may be saying "I'm ***-well _going_ to get it done this way", but I'd try optical media at this point. I have had problems with USB installation on occasion. Not, as it happens, with TDE (it was Linux Mint 17 with MATE), but it was a problem with the actual stick. It installed on some boxen and not on others. Honest! Where it didn't install, we managed to get hold of a DVD and that worked. The actual sticks/keys are a variable bunch. I gather it makes a difference where in the block the chip is cut from - middle or outside. Grandmother. eggs etc, but I would md5sum or shasum or something check both the download (you already have) *and* the burnt image, if you burn one. Lisi
