I ordered another set of memory sticks. I figure I will have to send them both back which means no memory at all. I wasn't planning to go to 128GBs yet but guess I am now. Once new ones come in, I'll start working on getting them swapped. I don't recall ever having a memory stick go bad before. I've had to reseat one before but not just plain go bad. I noticed that that qtweb package now wants 32GBs of space to build now. Dang, I feel for someone using a Raspberry Pi. That thing is getting really big. I didn't set up swap so I had to create a swapfile. Dale :-) :-)
