Hi Subash Thanks for that - I'm not in a hurry so I'd appreciate any futher details when you have the time.
Ubuntu picked up most of my peripherals automatically but not the reader. I thought about editing fstab but I'm a bit unsure of the correct syntax for the reader. I have done a bit of Googling but there seems to be conflicting (and sometimes incomprehensible) advice. Some readers get recognised on boot up but some don't. I'm not adverse to the command line or editing config files but I think some of the advice is written in Klingon....
