   Backed all my data up one more time, than thanks to Clonezilla, cloned   
   my good installation onto the drive that had the failed upgrade.   
      
   Whew. Now I can put the drive away knowing I have a backup installation.   
      
   While that was going on, I decided to upgrade my Mint 20.3 to version 21   
      
   LOL, as it got to the end, the upgrade failed.   
   The system booted by had problems>   
      
   One nice thing about Mint at least is it took a nice snapshot and I was   
   able to roll everything back.   
      
   Now I put a not on the machine NOT to upgrade the Mint install.
