Thanks :) Not there yet though - still some way to go ;)

I have another box that I use principally for VMs (ryzen 7 16-core with
64g ram) and on that, I've got both windows 7 and 10 VMs - but I'm still
trying to migrate the software from the physical to the virtual systems.
There are strange dependencies which just don't seem to work in the VMs
(they're virtualbox-based - I might have more success with vmware). 

Also - worth keeping in mind that after the chimaera upgrade and with
grub 2.04, windows 7 boots fine. It's the CentOS 6.7 linux system which
won't boot! :(
