OK, more weirdness going on....
This time, said 'No' to 'migrate config'...
Not sure if this happened the previous time but I just noticed during rebooting that there was an error message about 'mount: .....loop0' don't think that's a good sign....
Also, last boot I saw that weird splash screen with girl and dinozaurus...this not there
Booted up to desktop but different looking than last time, just have gray background, taskbar, and a home folder in upper left corner....last time I had that background image blue with purple 'X's and several icons across top and folders running down left edge of screen....

?
Guess will try again.....
