Latest update, on the GUI app front . . . I tried to use Synaptic to install Clonezilla and/or DRBL as well . . . they were the apps that showed up on a search of "clonezilla" . . . and both "error-ed out" on dependency issues and/or "broken packages" . . . ?? Synaptic claims to have "fixed the dependency problem successfully" . . . but then refused to try to install the packages. Ran update/upgrade && -f install in the console, and "autoclean" & "autoremove" . . . then checking in Lubuntu Software Services with the term "clonezilla" && "drbl" . . . shows "nothing found" . . . so there must be something about Clonezilla that doesn't "fit" with Lubuntu???? Anyway, I checked the Yaboot conf file, and I found the "append" line, so I could just run a fresh install if and when I get a new looks llike it will be SSD . . . in the linux partition. Very slow to get this post typed out, back to the fan blowing and nothing happening very fast . . . possibly due to "pre-failure" HD feelings of inadequacy ??? F
