Ah naming difference in ubuntu.
We are both correct.

Apologies I wasn't meaning to whine, I was merely reporting whilst
googling for answers. 

I tried Henrik's repository as well and got different problems,
but eventually managed one time to do a git clone.

Before that,
everything falls over after gigabytes have been downloaded.
It seems the problems are with git.
When doing a first time clone, the situation is diabolical
with the huge numbers of files and histories overwhelming
servers and buffers and so on.

I am betting that means you need to create a clean new
project starting point without the history?

Not sure what kind of management goes into mega software projects.


Anyway, log updated with photos - and still far behind.

I'm waiting on a netbook with 250GB SSD to arrive.
At the moment, everything is split between work PC, home PC and servers
in between. Once its on netbook, I can carry it back and forth and work
on the one machine - keep loosing files and notes all the time at the
moment.
