We have a case here of a senior linux fellow,Nick, talking to someone
contentedly splashing in the kiddie pool.I appreciate your efforts.
Your instruction with "for files in *.bin ... do the checksums match
after downloading? 
I am searching around the internet attempting an assembly of background
information to comprehend your advice.

In brief,the futile attempt began with trying an ubuntu upgrade,on a
dark and rainy night,perhaps a year or more ago,the ubuntu version now
long forgotten, ....
I have been spurred on recently,toward seeking a solution,after noticing
the update manager included kernel ending with .22 and apparently
installed along with error notation?.After that kernel .22 install?,
I could not longer boot except by using kernel ending .16 still existing
as a boot option.More recently, when doing a new program install, that
program did an automatic kernel upgrade to .22 as part of the install.
Again I could not boot except using kernel ending .14 another boot
option,most apparently,this perspective is  technically limited.

Eventually I did a new install,ubuntu 10.10,from disk which noted
errors,possible errors from the internet updates.I did not do a checksum
on the CD from QSDisc,

Thanks for all the information contained in this post.
