To my great surprise, the sequence got me the v11.3 (sic) welcome screen, and then booted into v11.1...
More tomorrow. When I attack this tomorrow, I will use the DFSee Linux version that I hope I will still have access to, rather than the DOS version on the bootable CD.
Pay attention to where DFSee lists Grub as filesystem instead of Linux in the Related column. My guess is that the 11.3 installer put things where it thought they belonged instead of where you needed/wanted them, only partially overwriting your 11.1 "Grub" with 11.3 Grub, leading to the whole mess you've been trying to extricate yourself from with this thread. The 11.3 filesystems might be unreadable by 11.1's Grub, either due to 256 byte inodes, or use of EXT4 filesystem(s). Booted to 11.1 you can reinstall its Grub, getting you back normal 11.1 operation. Once that's done we can figure out what can be done about 11.3 besides abandoning or reinstalling it. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
