I am here, and there was only a long lit of autoremoves, which I did. I
was already uptodate.

downoaded and printed setion 4 and section 5 but since I have 5 machines
running buster from fresh installs from the linuxcnc site which is the
same but with a realtime kernel, I don't expect any real showstoppers,
but I've made dead tree out of both just in case.
I'll let this simmer for 3 or 4 days, giving amanda a chance to catch up,
then continue from here. Thank you Andrew.
To Greg and Brian: I hope you both make it to my age, where poor short
term memory will have become a daily fact, and that your experience by
then is as wide as mine. I do have interests far wider than just debian.
When I wrote my first program, it was for a tv station, ran on an rca
1802. That was 1979, and it was usefull enough they were still using it
several times a day in 1995. Computers have gotten a few hunbred times
faster and at least 100x more capable AND complex today. And I do have
other interests. To many it seems.
You've no doubt heard that water is not compressible, but in fact it is,
it just takes another 7 miles of water on top of it to do it. I had
fingerprints on the pcb's in the camera's that were on the Trieste when
it went down into the mohole that took those pictures that proved it
over 60 years ago.
