Thanks. When I'm feeling brave, I'll give it a try. The risk is if it
goes wrong, there is no-one local who could fix the system and my mother
would be without her computer until I can make the 300 mile drive!

I wonder if there is an approach whereby I clone the root logical volume
and somehow upgrade the clone (without booting into it, that is). That
way the system should always at least reboot into the original system?

Regards,
Tony.
