[nmglug] Upgrading Ubuntu 20.04

[Brian O'Keefe]

You are right on the kernel versions Ted. 5.4.0-180 is the current one. 
apt suggests removing chromium-common, chromium-sandbox but leaves 
chromium-browser alone. Just an FYI. And thanks Satsangat for your two 
cents also, and Tom. I could remove a few pkags at a time and see what 
happens. How would I do that?

Many, many thanks!
