Thanks. I might try this. I haven't decided whether to or not; I might just
wait until I finally get paid the money I'm owed and start from scratch on a
new hard disc. I've customised so much (it's not recognisable as linux-FT
which is what it was once, 18 months ago) I don't want to start from scratch
on this one, which is why I was thinking about doing an in-place upgrade.
