Thanks, both, for these helpful replies. I think I agree with slartibartfast, and only do it if necessary. But it's goot to know from SlimChances that when it is necessary, it's possible to use the MIP GUI to do it. For now, though, I have a more serious problem. My newly-installed Debian Stretch system has failed catastrophically, probably because something I've installed or configured wasn't compatible with systemd/sysv. Anyway, it looks like I'm going to have to do a complete fresh install, and restore data in /home from a backup <groan>. A job for tomorrow, I think! Thanks again to both of you.
