   Well, the FORTH try seemed to work. But not without some "adjusting" during the   
   install. And after too. The latter was because of my harware setup. It seems   
   that if you are using a seperate HD as your /home/ and even though it is   
   already   
   mounted as such. The correct ownership and permissions are not set properly   
   for a   
   user to login. At least not via the Desktop GUI interface. But if one drops out   
   of the Unity GUI interface down to the trusty command login prompt and logs in.   
   One can then use the chown command (As sudo) to take ownership and permissions   
   back. Then after a reboot one can then login via the desktop GUI interface.   
      
   Now to get BBBS loading correctly again.
