Thanks, that's just what I wanted.  When I'm next on the boat in
France where the Pi is I will move to Bookworm.  The SD card it's
using at the moment seems a bit flakey anyway so I'll 'archive' that
and use a new one.

There's actually a quite large USB stick plugged into it too that has
quite a lot of spare space so if I get to feel a bit paranoid about
the SD card I can copy all the important bits to the USB stick.  I can
do this remotely using an ssh connection. I don't fancy trying a major
upgrade vi ssh though!
