cuz I gave up trying to make a realtime kernel work on raspios's

Will be someone else's about 3000 miles west of me. I have 2, 64G u-sd
cards I'm installing on but when they work in my machine, will be sent
back to him. In the process, I'm using my rpi4 as a test mule.

I've looked at /edtc/passwd, pi does not exist in it.

While this confirms its Debian's version, built this past Friday for
armhf, it does nothing to answer my first question above. The other end
user has a similar situation in that he is at least 40 miles from the
nearest ipv6 capable connection. To me, this is a pita, if the guys that
write the dhcp code would get out of their mothers basement and visit the
real world, they would check to see if there was a working dns at its
usual ipv6 address, AND REVERT to ipv4 automatically if its not found!
The existing situation leaves it up to us to figure out how to disable it
unconditionally for every install we do. ipv4 works just fine out here in
the puckerbrush, if we can get ipv6 the hell out of the way.
I'm not frustrated with you Andy. But I think Debian has some pretty
smart coders who seem to be wearing tunnelvision glasses and can't see
the bigger picture that exists 5 miles away from the isp's premises.
That's frustrating, and should be fixed. Looking at the acreage where
ipv6 IS available, I'd guess it is less than 1% of this whole country,
why shove this down our throat?
