I had a few minutes to boot my U-MATE 20.10 distro that is so slow to boot
. . . .  I checked "ls var/crash"  and it showed three files there, when
one of the last times I booted it up I trashed the whole directory, as was
suggested to try to improve boot times . . . at first it seemed to but
today wasn't very good as far as comparing ubuntu to my other options.

I then ran the requested "whoopsie" command and got at least ten blocks of
lines claiming to be "19 lines" spaced out with blackness between them . .
. I copied one of the blocks, looks fairly similar to the previous posting??
