Subject: Re: [DNG] Script to migrate buster desktop to beowulf v1.8
Hi,

v 1.8

now with supported DE's:

1) GNOME
2) LXDE
3) LXQT
4) XFCE
5) KDE
6) MATE
7) CINNAMON

and minor fixes, improvements and cleanups.

Made script more robust against failures:
1) added test for internet connectivity
2) check that time and date is correct
    or apt update will fail. Fix it 
    with ntpdate-debian if not correct 
2) added test to check that required deb packages 
    download really succeeds
3) Move point of no return further down the script
    after most of the checks for prerequisites 
    by reshuffling the code a little bit
4) remove full paths of programs (as they can
    be different between systems) with the 
     exception of /bin/echo (don't want builtin)
5) fixes for shellcheck


Ciao,
Tito
