   Thanks for all the help on getting my Brother printer setup on my Ubuntu   
   22.04 machine.   
   As mentioned, I had to do a custom setup.   
   I upgraded an old installation to 24.04 and when I went to install the   
   printer...I'll be darned , the Brother recommended setup worked   
   fine...but now I have another problem   
      
      
   The drive I had used as a backup upgraded fine to 24.04 but I had to   
   upgrade from 22.04 to 23.10 first.   
      
   My problem was that when I did that with my most recent drive,   
   the upgrade failed as it got to the end. The machine did boot to 23.10   
   but there are broken dependencies which I cannot resolve as the Internet   
   was lost in the process.   
      
      
   I need to know how to proceed from here.   
      
   I can download the 23.10 and burn the .iso to USB stick   
   but how to I add it as  source to software & updates?   
      
   I can't fix dependencies without pointing the repair process somewhere   
   other than on-line   
      
   The option for external source says to insert CD or DVD   
      
   The ISO is too large. Their dialog is obsolete.   
      
   Synaptic does have an option to add packages but where would I point   
   that within the ISO   
      
      
      
   Even though I do have one working installation, I do want to get the   
   other one going as a backup without a complete fresh install   
      
      
   Thanks
