Hello Craig,

Not ignoring, just two rather long days of work, Traffic Control, an
hour or a little less to the yard, then an hour to the work site, and
the same returning, with more than 12 hours between arriving at the
yard and getting back for two days. Thankfully shorter today.

Aha, another piece of using apt-get. It is brilliant, but also a very
steep learning curve. It would be very good to have a good cheat sheet
in a printable form.

I am now considering two installs on the computer, one stable, the
other sid, and dual booting to get the scanning. As there is one
normal user, I should be able to set up a shared home partition and
the one user in each install sharing the one home directory structure.
That way, I still have a usable system for most things, but can get at
the stuff in sid at need.

Regards,

Mark Trickett
