Now I seem to have broken the entire thing. I decided to try the python
installation method, so ran `apt-get remove weewx` and then downloaded the
tarball to try a manual installation.
This time, there is content in /var/www/html but hardly anything (except
user) under /usr/share/weewx. Everything is under /home but even when I
place the new driver into /usr/share/weewx/user and modify the
configuration file, I still get...

Am I right in stating that in the driver section of the configuration file,
a dot is the directory separator? The file is indexed this way in the
configuration file...
root@weather:/usr/share/weewx/user# grep driver /home/weewx/weewx.conf
driver = user.wmr300.py
I tried to change that to weewx.user.wmr300.py to no avail. I also tried
copying the file into /home/weewx but again, no luck. It's trying to find
the python file, but I don't know 1. where to put it and 2. how to point
the configuration file at it.
At this point, I'm thinking of jacking the whole thing in and re-installing
raspbian to start again.
