   Erm, not here!   
      
   My PC can read and write the FAT32 bootFS which is how I can add both   
   SSH and userconf files. But the other partition, ext4 rootfs is   
   invisible on my PC.

   Oh, So you mean a Linux PC, that I can believe but I don't know   
   anyone who has such a beast, I've not even seen one. Apple-mac or   
   Windows without exception in my acquaintances and all would think a   
   'PC' meant windows.   
      
   Before anyone makes the obvious claim, in my eyes a pi doesn't   
   qualify as a PC.   
      
   Bob.
