I subsequently found this.
Press *Alt-F2* and run *kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade*

May be there is a hardware fault as I just get a white screen on 2 
different LCD screens.
That's why I wondered if there was a method of using a VC to do a fresh 
install now there is no alternate CD.

Another tack I may try is installing the server CD and trying a KDE install.

I am now seeing a kernel oops from the installed kernel.
Regards
Sid.
