Methinks you need to make a step-by-step instruction set for other people
interested that don't want the headaches. :)

Have you done anything else with it? Like tried to build any useful programs?

I may indeed be stuck using 32 bit for now, as I do like a package manager
available to me. I've never gotten the courage to do any kind of LFS setup
whatsoever. Well, that and I don't really care for compiling everything any
more. Obviously compiling things like the husky stuff and binkd or whatever,
but not my entire system. That just takes too dang long. :)

This reminds me, I should get over to Amazon and get my 2nd RPi3 for the
whole-house media server.

Regards,
Nick
