   Hey Nancy!   
      
    MK>> with more emphasis on the madness than the science.   
      
    NB> But isn't that part of the definition of Wizard...?   
      
   Possibly.  I've never looked it up and always associated wizards with magic   
   and the such but now that you mention it that might be a sign of madness.   
      
    NB> So you are providing a real service   
      
   I suppose.  Mostly I started doing it to learn and it was back then that one   
   of my neighbours noticed it on a scan and asked to join in on the fun and once   
   we got it woring his wife wanted in.  They moved out quite some time ago but   
   have been replaced by other neighbours since.  I was prepared to drop wireless   
   AGES ago but they won't allow it.  :-/   
      
    NB> So, you've answered this set from the raspi3....?   
      
   Yes, the 32 bit install to be more accurate.  At the moment I am booted up to   
   the 64 bit install to see if I can use that to kickstart a root file system   
   that is more my own homegrown type thingy.  So far I've screwed it up a couple   
   times but seeing I am not in any rush that is okay as I am learning quite a   
   bit.  Number one lesson is that I seem to prefer my own homegrown type thingy   
   and seem to be jumping through the hoops to make it happen.  If I can get it   
   working (booting) I think it will have been worth the additional pain I am   
   going through as we speak.  If not then it isn't like this hasn't happened   
   before and has been very inexpensive in comparison to past fiascos of this   
   nature.   
      
   Live and learn eh?
