Christian,

Thanks for the reply. After I sent the email, I continued to do some more
investigation, and am presently downloading the OS's needed to upgrade from
12.04 to 13.10 (or 12). I was hoping to be able to remain on 12.04 for its
LTS.

Oh well, that's life in the boonies.

Thanks for this useful tool - especially of those of us living out of the
mainstream, down in the far south of Africa where our device choice is much
more limited.

Regards,
Julian
