Can anyone help a newcomer, who can't see the obvious.

Hi

Thanks to all who helped make a great disc and for free. Just created this and no problem accessing tools in the basic interface. Have seen a few screenshots of a quite advanced Linux looking GUI, I know this is a stupid question but how do you get into this.

Tried the available Linux options, two produced an interface but not the one expected and the other version just locked the PC. I appreciate I must be going blind but I have been through the forum, tried every option on the disc, can't figure this out.

Any help really would be appreciated.

Well, can you provide links to those screenshots you are talking about ? ...

Hi

Thanks for replying, the type of screen I meant is on the bottom of the page at:

Reading this page, I wonder if I just have the wrong version, they refer to an "insert" version.

Will try and find out about this but please let me know if I'm jumping to the wrong conclusion. Thanks again for replying.

You're right to wonder ;)
They also wrote right above the screenshots "Menu Screenshots of UBCD 3.2"
Insert has been removed from UBCD starting from 4.0, if I remember well, because :
- it's no more updated
- it's simpler to have only one release of UBCD instead of a basic and a full one
- people may still add Insert to their own copy if they feel the need for it (or run it from an older version of UBCD, since Insert itself is not updated anymore, unless i'm mistaking)

Thanks Constance, that's very helpful.

I've been trying the disc, which is great and have got used to the interface. Having learnt more about how this operates, not sure the GUI would be that much better.

Thanks again for the explanation
