Perfect - that works - however, I think (and could be wrong) that the 
kernel in 5.10
is not as new as with DF4 - if this is correct, this would explain why 
the install of the latter worked
instead of 5.10 - and that brings me to question 1, couldn't I just boot 
the live ISO of DF4 and copy
the kernel onto a 5.10 hard drive - thus giving me the workable kernel I 
need?
