[Phyllis Smith]

available.
I also read your next email of your test results.  But if you have the
time, I would still appreciate you testing the appimage I will be
downloading since it is the default one that will go out to the users on
Dec. 31.

did not have the correct Nvidia hardware or software.  Why? I do not know

The above is my problem also and the one computer that I did the previous
test on and is quoted in the manual, was updated without the Nvidia
drivers.  More later.  Thanks for the help.
