Thanks for the info, Toni - I will try this again, as soon as I get a chance.saintless wrote: This could be the reason for some of the messages from your screenshot.
Information what is changed in case someone likes to restore the high Mint packages priority.
I'm a real "fan" of Mint's Mate/Marco desktop environment (along with the excellent MintMenu) - it's very highly functional with plenty of useful features, can be made quite beautiful aesthetically, and is still more than reasonably light on resources - works wonderfully on my old dual-core machines. A great "middle ground" in the world of DE's, IMHO. But, of course, installing as I did above adds almost a full 1 Gb to the installed OS size. All a trade-off!
Thanks again,
Bob
