Since I saved them on this  machine and have not made sshfs live yet, 
Thats best done by bringing the card in, plugging it into a reader to do 
the transfers.

I have had it working a time or three with the buildbots old 2.8.0-pre, 
but its quite fragile, never crashing at the same point twice.

I've rsync'd that out to a backup drive from the card that was in it for 
the last 4 or so days, then when this new finally booted to a usable 
screen, rsynced it back in order to get the most recent edits in place. 
ANAICT, everything works, but its very, very fragile, freezing up at the 
drop of a 4-40 screw 10 feet away.

I was going to print the README.md, and build according to that, but 
found that while the package manager says cups-client and friends is 
installed, its not usable as there is no /etc/cups/cups-client.conf.

I haven't sorted that basket of rattlesnakes yet, been sitting on the 
rider, trying to find my yard.  That, by the time I loaded the 3x5x1 
foot deep 2 wheeled wagon full of hedge trimmings stacked about 3 feet 
high, to haul it to the burn pit wrote a ~30~ to my back for the day, so 
the weedeating around the edges will wait till another dry day.

And its time (17:45) to round up something for dinner. So thats the 
status for today.  Thank you Bertho.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
