The core file that pfinstall seems to have created would be the first thing to look at (there may be a bug identifiable based on that), but most likely you've tried to go "too far" in between upgrades. Tthe LU upgrades are generally not tested across long jumps in Nevada since they will never be supported. I'd suggest trying to upgrade to 79b (which was the last SXDE release) first, then to the current, as this will most likely keep you in the tested paths. Dave
