I'm prolly not 'getting' lvm yet.
What would be a good layout for a stretch install doing lvm snapshots?

"I've bin kinda lazy lately'
e you need to use the non-free
installer.
Try: https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi since you already have the firmware.
Also, since, forever, desktop environments tend to install a lot of stuff.

Could you skip all that and use something like busybox or buildroot?

I had a long delay with NetworkManager-wait-online.service and the delay
referred me to systemctl
systemctl feels more like working with a database. Interesting system to

Hope this is the right place to mention this:
Did an apt-get update this morning and found package tkdesk in
slink/proposed-updates has a new revision which depends on libc6 (>=2.1)
(dists/proposed-updates/tkdesk_1.1-3_i386.deb)
I believe this to be an oversight.
Isn't slink; libc6 < 2.1 ??

Hi David,
Perhaps you have more then 16 meg of ram? I had a similar problem with a
5426; it work before a memory upgrade, not after.
Although my symptoms were quite different.
