Thank you so much for the help. I had tried this on another computer before with other distros (both with xfce) and only had minor tweeks (mainly font dpi) to make afterward, but I thought I'd better ask those who are familiar with LL if it seems feasible. If I go through with it I'll report back how it went. Manjaro hasn't broken yet from a rolling update, so I'm still weighing whether to pull the trigger or not.
When I first moved over to Linux as my primary OS (with Linux Mint MATE on our desktop) I used the installer option to install next to Windows (Vista). It has worked well, but in retrospect I wish I'd known the benefits of having /home in a separate partition. I've seen that some installers have this as a option now in addition to "something else." There's the question of how the available space would be split between / and /home, but some rules of thumb could be worked out, I'd think. On the other hand, it's one more thing that could go wrong.
LL is zipping along on my notebook. I took it along when I went to have my car serviced yesterday. No problem at all identifying the customer wifi connection there.
Thanks again,
