I have now. Thanks for that.
The lappy that I'm taking about is a second machine that doesn't always
boot in the first instance, something wrong with POST I think, it
sometimes doesn't complete.
Anyway, I see I'm running out of space in /usr and /home and the data
partitions.
I might try to make this a VM machine, not that I have any idea what
I'm talking about, and will have to read up. But at the moment there is
just too much I have on my plate to attempt it.
So maybe a week from now? Hopefully, if I can get this load trimmed
down.
Thank you for your help and thank you for apt-listbugs.
Stay well,
Charlie
