Thanks Marius, Small typo on my part. Seagate drive label says 1000GB. So I perhaps to be safe I should download the 2.9.3 ISO, burn a DVD and install that. Then do the update/upgrade?
One annoying thing I've found so far with the 2.9.4 is the write protection for so many of the system folders. I went to copy a bunch of the screen backgrounds over to /usr/share/... and couldn't drag and drop. Had to resort to 1970's technology and use the command line with a sudo in front of it. The 2.8 system allows me to drag into those folders. So obviously I'm not privileged enough on 2.9.4. Is there a way to start the file manager so it has sudo privileges? Or how do I update my rights?
