I can do that, but it will be after I dl a 2nd copy and unpack it with
tar. Or if I can find a deb, get that. Clicking on the downloaded file
brought up squeeze, and squeeze after screwing around for a while
because I never saw it before, AND the double click did not even pass
the filename to squeeze to open, I had to go find it and open it, it
unpacked what looks to be a legit, ready to run directory tree, that
contains nothing executable by man despite the shown permissions.
