The actual move took about 15 minutes, including trouble shooting. 
Building this partition took days.  However, I now have gtk+2 fully console
based framebuffer graphics!  "links -g" works pretty good.  fbi
gives me access to jpegs, pngs, etc.  fbgs is next for pdfs and the such,
but I need to add the ghostscript fonts first.  Also Mplayer for mpegs,
avi's, dvd's, etc. needs to be brought up to date.

Anyhow the node and point both work.  Still no BBS but I am thinking of
using thhtp as the basis for that and just do cgi scripting for QWK doors
and the such.  I doubt jumping through too many hoops to get a regular BBS
working in Linux is worth the effort just for myself.  I almost have
everything I want.  Should be done soon.

Life is good,
Maurice
