Finally, to have Linux on the new laptop with working
wifi, I
installed Lubuntu. Added the Trinity repositories in order to bring
in a few programs, but haven't been able to install the whole Trinity
desktop. There are broken packages, maybe due to having to use the
raring version in sources.list while the Lubuntu version is saucy.
Oh well, I am travelling tomorrow but will have more questions in a few days...

Travelling done. Now for the jet lag...
In sources.list I updated all the repository (except for Trinity)
versions to saucy. This fixed the broken packages problem, and I
installed many key Trinity pkgs. But maybe not enough or not the
right ones. I (foolishly) chose kdm-trinity as the desktop on next
login - and haven't been able to boot into Linux since.
Now I want to reset the desktop default to Lubuntu LXDE and get back
in to install things properly. Some questions:
1 - how to access the HDD from a live session running off a USB?
1a - changing the desktop default - I think it's in .xinitrc or a related file?
2 - in some detail, what needs installing to make sure the next
startup will work and display the Trinity desktop?
Thanks again - Robert
