Hi, Doug.. Thank you so much for your kind words. My apologies for a
belated response. Just... a lot going on. Regarding my elaboration of
a malfunctioning SD card here, It crossed my mind for a split second
that some portion of the trial-and-error garnered information offered
might be overkill. But.. have already seen several instances where
members leave extensive details for the archive in hopes of saving
others some needless hairpulling. Looking forward to FINALLY being
able to give back something to the Debian Community for your priceless
gift that is Debian and its many wonderful derivatives.
Thank you again for the kind feedback, Doug.. :)
Cindy :)
