Thanks again - that seemed to work fine.
tail -f /var/log/messages did not work on lubuntu, but a forum suggested trying
tail -f /var/log/syslog which gave me the following:-
office@office-desktop:~$ tail -f /var/log/syslog

so hopefully this means the same thing as the standard instructions, with me replacing sdb for sdc. Before I go on to making a back up copy of this disc, it would be great if someone could confirm that I am on the right track so far. Thanks, Roberto.
