My elderly Fujitsu ESPRIMO-Mobile-V6555 with Windows XP has turned out to be fussy about which Linux distros to run. Finally got going with Linux Lite. I am new to Linux but a long term Windows user and felt quite comfortable with the live version of Linux Lite, so thank you to all involved.
I installed with Linux Lite alongside Windows XP into which it will still boot. However Linux Lite failed to boot but after experiments I discovered that it would boot in "Recovery mode". When the recovery boot finished I appeared to have a full installation in that I have could add further applications and make use of Wine with some basic Windows utilities, also Dropbox setup very easily.
Very pleased with the way things are going but would welcome suggestions as to what I should do to enable a standard boot.
