Sorry; I have probably given incorrect information here as I was
working from my memory rather than having the machine in front of me.
All I'll definitely state is that I saw a button on the right of the
menu bar that implied that I had to sign in, so I clicked it.

Yes; I was able to bring up the dialog and enter the new account
details (proposed username, password twice etc.). However, at the
bottom was a text box with no label or other explanation. I ignored it,
pressed the button (OK? Confirm?) and there was another dialog stating
that I had to enter the captcha code. I did have an internet
connection, or I wouldn't have been able to download the list of
available packages (which I was able to do).
Michael.
