At last I thought to look in "Spam" for the activation code - there they were. All good. Had a fun couple of weeks getting wifi back after upgrade, learnt lots from Debian Users and Wiki. Have installed Sparky Base/Openbox 64, am enjoying. Hope to spend much more time reading than asking questions, but it is good to have somewhere to ask if I get stuck. Thanks to the people who make all this possible. :)
This [Sparkylinux] is the best distro ever and support is awesome.
