Oooops.

I just tried upgrading from 21.3 to 22 with mintupgrade.

It didn't go well.

After finishing and rebooting, I was dropped into command prompt.
'startx' did start an X session, but the graphic display was basic, and 
there was no networking. Presumably drivers for the h/w hadn't been 
installed. H610M-E, RTL8111, i5-13400 and GT1030. No timeshift was 
installed either.

Out with the DVD standalone and timeshift has at least put things back. 
(First time I've had to do that.)

Do I just retry and hope, or is there something to check and fix first?

(BTW the DVD was also v 22, and works just fine... I even get drivers 
for the on-board intel gpu which 21.x does not have.)
