My versions go back to 2.3 on this particular laptop, but that's not
the point.  To be able to switch between versions with Rswitch, 
the pkgutil --forget etc. must be run prior to upgrading as described
in one of the startup screens of the installer.  This has worked for me,
too, in the past, but it didn't seem to work in trying to reinstall a previous
version and I'm wondering if there is an easy way to do that, or if I missed
something in the way I tried.  Thanks.

Ken
