But I do have other uses for my available flash drives, although at present I could use it as a one-time fix. Also, it isn't so important to me to be on the cutting edge of everything. I just want to get my computer rebuilt, running and stable. And I have several stacks of brand-new, unused 100 CDs and 100 DVDs, but only a few flash drives. In any case, this is not so important, and I can manage these details. All I want is to track down the source of this issue, resolve it, then resize my root partition and change over to Devuan. And I can change to 64-bit later, as well, if that will work. My most pressing problem at the moment is why I am losing space on my root partition. Speaking of which: after a couple more hours (during most of which I have been offline, as I was attending to stuff in the real world), I am now down to 60.3 mb of free space. If you have followed these threads, I was at something like 165 mb a few hours ago, and 200+ mb a day or so ago.
