Downloaded 290/290 and kernel panic, not syncing. Same old Linux. Fortunately, hadn't started updates, /home had been unmounted by some forward-looking individual and there was a sync;sync and blockdev -- flushbufs running every 15 seconds. =>:-o

Pucker factor went from {O} to {o} to }{ the max!

Anyway, a quick reboot, fsck, split the check-update into 2 arbitrary pieces and do it again.

Part 2 is running as beads of sweat drip due to a recently arrived y \thunderstorm ... but I finished first, powered all down.

Back up and everything is working.

I like the new look. The flicker when scrolling the virtual desktop around *seems* reduced (I'm sure it'll leave when I activate DRI again, turned off by the stupid Xorg update).

Anyway, congrats from this old workstation. Looks good.
