Oops.  I misread something.  Thanks!

But to address William's problem of an overfull /boot partition: I have

Yeah, the problem was the comically, "full of clowns" tiny space that
didn't allow two kernels (234 Mb), so I could either keep the known-good
kernel, or the new one, but not both :-P

I far prefer the way it's set up now, with / and /home, and I probably
won't have to worry about this system until I replace it.

Thanks!
