OK, thanks

In fact I was stuck anyway, I had been moving my keyboard and mouse
between the joggler and my pc as the joggler updated, and having got
to the screen asking where it should install grub it would not
recognise the keyboard again.
Reading the latest stuff on the wiki I think I will just start again
with the latest image there.   At least that is no big deal.
