It was the directory copied from the Mac, so it was 6.xx, but I have
just updated to latest version of web site.

I have none to remove that I can find.

I haven't tried this, but the error message I get suggests an error
trying to load org.install, which I assume is because it can't find
it.

The error message is

Loading /home/graham/.recentf...done
Cleaning up the recentf list...done (0 removed)


An error has occurred while loading `/home/graham/.emacs':

File error: Cannot open load file, org-install

I have run this and get an error

"graham@T42-laptop:~$ sudo apt-cache purge org-mode
[sudo] password for graham:
E: Invalid operation purge"

I have also tried this:

"graham@T42-laptop:~$ emacs --debug-init"

but get

"Loading /home/graham/.recentf...done
Cleaning up the recentf list...done (0 removed)
require: Cannot open load file: debug"
