Can you remind us why you do not ask the Armbian folks how to use their
operating system instead of us poor uninformed Debian folks?
Igor is busy, often answering his email long after I've solved the
problem with some else's help. Or figured out a workaround... Pure
serendipity has put this guy with an 8h grade education in some unusual
places, like when the navy's trieste went to the bottom of the mohole,
37k feet deep in the pacific, in Feb 1959, the tv cameras that let them
see outside, had my fingerprints in them, I was the bench tech that
assembled them. Switched to broadcasting in '62. Spent the rest of my
working life as the Chief, often the only engineer/tech in the facility
at a series of tv stations scattered over the next 40 years. Tech tests
I've aced cold include that CET after my name. That's special, 95% of
the EE's I've hired cannot pass it, but laid on the GM's desk has got me
every job I've applied for, and job offers I'd never touch for any
amount of money. OTOH, if I made a mistake, I've owned it. You have all
seen that too. If you choose to remember.
Now I'm 90, and fading into the sunset, fighting with a poor short term
memory. My advice to all? Take care of #1.
After all, as you pointed out in [gene-knows-best], 99% of us just
aren't on your level.

Thanks,

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
