They were all correct.

The missing bit was the nameserver.  Now installed.

I did that.  "rsync" looks useful.  I suppose I can use it to transfer
arbitrary files across the LAN ?

Well,  firstly thanks for you guidance.  The browser now works OK.

I still have a problem with the KMail,  which differs from older KMails.
I expect I will crack that one.

By the way,  the /etc/resolv.conf file carries a health warning saying don't
edit by hand - it will get overwritten.  I ignored that,  and we have 
progress.

Best regards,

Geoff
