OK; my first step/s instead was installing Kodi on a live Mint 19.2 w/
persistence (from mkusb) connecting to LAN by ethernet (or wifi),
installing Kore app on a Blu android 6.0 connecting to LAN by wifi,
accessing and controlling the Mint Kodi w/ the Blu Kore touchscreen.
The 18.3 Kodi on the Mint was obtained from the .ppa rather than the
earlier one in the repos.

Next I'll do it w/ Kodi on the Raspbian.  That will be repo v. based; I
hope it is just as simple.
