It did do a complete install -- but it evaporated all of my
tweaks and data, including even my innumerable choices of apps to install
or remove, on the T42 as well as on PC #4.
I tried it in PC #3, which is *not* nearly so expendable, and
noticed this time that when it gets to partitioning, one choice is to
"replace existing linux installation" -- which might mean putting either
an upgrade or a fresh install into the space now used. What became of the
choice we used to have??
Btw, I also find, every time I hit the partitioner, it refuses to
let me increase /boot beyond 200 MB.
