Thanks Lee & Don
I spent all day blowing the OS out trying to manipulate Unity & I give up I may
try again later but right now both fresh installs are broke Recovery refuses to
run prints out a page of complaints & hangs up.
I quit & reinstalled 11.04 that gives me the choice to get gnome classic-no
effects & I have reinstalled all my files from USB HD & now I know where
everything is & can get there with single clicks
I will reinstall the broken sys tomorrow so that I can try again later on.

Hi Lee
You said I could still install Gnome 2 & 3 on U-12.04 but I
cannot seem to get it to work. here is the CLI dialog for the
command that I tried. After rebooting I do not get a choice from
the login screen it shows 'herb' as only user with no options
that I can see. I can use the unity default desk but I would be
happy if I could go back to what I have been using for past 5yrs.
I have not removed the Unity as some pages suggest. Should I?
Could you please give me the proper code to use,
Thanks herbHerb, not sure, but I think you have to log out and look for a
place on the log in screen to switch from Unity to whatever you've
installed. Sorry I can't recall the exact syntax but that's what I always
had to do to get KDE on Debian (since it came with gnome by default). As
I recall, you can select "for this session" or "make it the default".
