Sure, but nothing related to LSE.  Also, before the upgrade to 8.4, I
"moved" them all back to their default locations.  The upgrade itself 
went fine.  Before cloning the upgraded system disk for other nodes, I 
want to install some additional stuff on it---just the stuff in the 
hobbyist distribution.  This is where I hit the problem.

I've never used LSE, but with a relatively new DECset I figured it might 
be worth learning.

I did install DECset a long time ago and didn't have this problem.

No-one here but me!
