Yes, that's correct.

Ah, good. I'll hold off on upgrading/fixing my system then. Or is there a way 
to select the other installer? (I can't remeber exactly what the menu looked 
like--it's been a week or two.)

Excellent, thank you. This also explains the confusion when I did the install. 
The install kept calling the release SXDE when I _knew_ I had SXCE, and when 
the system booted up, this was confirmed. I couldn't figure out why the 
installer had the SXDE references.

I don't have a test system. This is on my home server, which runs my Sun Rays, 
etc. That's why this whole change, particularly the disk partitions, is so 
frustrating. I won't even be downloading Indiana for a very, very long time. It 
is of absolutely no use to me.

No problem. Thank you for clearing this up. I hope that the new installer 
becomes much more robust before it's rolled into the SXCE releases.
