Nvr mind, strange mini keyboard, fixed typu, works.
Update of 92 pkgs in progress. need to shrink text screen about 1 row of 
chars. can't see bottom of text screen on cheap tv w/computer input.. 
Not worth fixing if the gui works. That is not the monitor it will be 
using when operational, a week or so hence. I am building a 3d printer 
from scratch, using an Ender 5 plus frame.

Next is a gui, gnome will work, klipper doesn't care, haven't tried 
startx yet.. So sw is about 25% done.

Now, other than killing ipv6 this is exactly what I'm been doing that 
I've been berated for. The only diff I've seen so far is that now I 
don't see the "#created by network mangler" in this /etc/resolv.conf. 
So we'll see if it survives a reboot. If resolv.conf does not survive a 
reboot, the magic chattr +i gets pulled out and used again.

Thanks Greg.
