Cloning isn't the problem; I've got four bootable backups on a separate
drive in the machine, which I could just put in a new machine.
The problem is that I'm running slackware 14.0. Hubby spent over a day
trying to update to 14.x and more later with 15, but it just wouldn't.
He thinks a big problem may be the multilib which is absolutely
essential to run Picasa, which is essential for the quick and dirty
photo editing I want to do -- one important part of which is the ability
to automatically resize a photo to a maximum dimension of 1600 pixels,
required for free google photos storage. I don't want to have to do
this by hand and didn't see an option like that in the few
highly-recommended photo editing programs that I could actually install
due to the ancient OS. I can't install the best ones, whatever they are.
Basically I'm stuck in a corner in the middle of a shitstorm :-(
