welp, I just did a net install of at least half of bookworm, after stripping the system of all but the drive I wanted to boot from including unplugging the raid controller, rebooted to kde and kmail refused to log into my isp's imap server. So I had apt install a few things I use, then rebooted to gnome, and I must say the eye candy has improved, a lot. Then I assembled my raid10 for home and mounted it so tbird is looking good and working as me. Then I repeated it for a swap I have on the raid, and enabled it, so now there 50 gigs on sda, and 57gigs on the raid, and htop says 107 gigs.

Oh, and synaptic asks for a pw, I give it mine, and it runs just fine. Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
