   	So about 5 months now under PCLOS 2016.03 which has   
   been kept fully updated.   
   	   
   	No real problems and with some cunning moves I updated to   
   kernel 4.8.1 today on the Pavilion here and have 4.8.2 running on   
   the Dell.  Cunning moves,  Grub-organizer could not write the   
   grub.cfg.  I booted to root. used MC to delete the old file   
   and Dolphin to rename the grub.cfg.new to grub.dfg.   
   	Did not have to do those cunning moves on the Dell   
   which does not have a UEFI firmware but BIOS and GPT.
