Speaking of 11.04 questions...

[David Hardy]

I know I mentioned that it was an older Dell desktop with 2GB of RAM, but I
should also point out that the Unity desktop was not going to run on that
hardware, which I knew, and on boot-up the first time the system told me
this and also told me I could choose the usual Gnome desktop on log-in.
 However, on log-in there was no such choice.   The current screen shows me
the usual Ubuntu Applications, Places, System, date and clock on the top bar
and looks good to go, but the mouse cursor is frozen in the center.

Ken, are you looking for the preferences and admin stuff via the Unity
desktop?

I have a list here close by of a half-dozen things we should do after we
upgrade to 11.04 but without the mouse or command line I am stuck right now.
