Dave,

   Finally made time to get the new desktop up and running, and took your
advice to get a list of installed packages.

   I don't see anything in the *.hint files I've checked so far (e.g.,
audacity in Audio). They all seem to point to moving the hint file to a new
directory. This from
<https://github.com/idlemoor/slackrepo-hints/tree/master/ponce/default_hintfiles/14.2>

   Am I looking in the wrong directory?
