Do these look OK?

No, that was the first thing I checked.

The up2date feature works.  Support for FC2 ended a month or so back.  I
could have done a 'fresh' install but that would have reformated my
partitions and the loss of all files in home directories, mysql databases,
etc.  I do daily backups but is it better to overwrite a 'fresh' install
with possibly out of date files?  Catch 22.  :-)
