   First, thanks to those responding.  I will take your wisdom to use when I   
   set up a new system.  It makes a lot of sense!  I originally installed   
   from a Tumbleweed download DVD and did not deviate in the ways you folks   
   directed.  I blindly let it "do it's thing." Next time I will wisely heed   
   your advice.   
   I did get, I believe, a good image of the Tumbleweed HD with   
   "RescueZilla".  Of course I won't know until I have to re-install from   
   that image.   
      
   Second, When I ran into trouble with an upgrade back in March, losing my   
   desktop, etc., Carlos helped me greatly.  The system was rescued. However,   
   since then, I no longer get reports of available upgrades -- something got   
   "turned off."  When I realized this I did a "zypper dup" to discovered I   
   had 4000+ needed upgrades.  This scared me. This was when I posted help in   
   Backups.  I just did the 4000+ upgrade with much fear and intrepidation.   
   It did come out fine. YEA!   
   My question is: What do I need to do to get back to being informed of   
   upgrades by popup when I log in?  They used to come regularly.

   Thanks again for your valuable help . . . I'm learning
