    Click on the release notes hyperlink to confirm that a browser launches and you are taken to the release notes discourse page.
    Click on the Install Xubuntu button
    The 'Keyboard layout' screen appears
    The proposed keyboard corresponds with your keyboard
    Select your keyboard layout and click on Continue
    The 'Updates and other software' screen is displayed
    On the screen 'Updates and other software', note the availability of the following components
    Available options should represent the state of your system accurately
    • (If network is available) 'Download updates while installing Xubuntu'

    Click on the Continue button
    The 'Installation type' screen is displayed

    hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 8gb, amd/ati rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)
    selected english(au), extra media etc selected too, full disk install with internet

    re-use of prior installed / partition; (clean install earlier today on which I `sudo apt update; sudo apt install audacious cowsay fortunes-mod` & a few other packages, also using `scp` to copy music so I had files on my $HOME partition...

    expecting what I'd get with `ubiquity` with this type of install; new xubuntu install WITH the prior packages (audacious etc) & most importantly my music surviving install

    superficially (exploring from live media) install appears good; but I'm unable to login.. quick attempt to autologin also failed (maybe my error), but I'm running out of time to search today.. no longer sufficient time to re-install (fixing a typo if made by me) for example

    install completed; on reboot I'm asked to login to OTHER? and it won't accept 'guiverc/please' ; however at present I can't rule out user/op-error, its been years since I could read keytops on the old IBM keyboard so were my finger correctly positioned? or something else user-related???
