Now, you might want a trinity bug report just to keep this a wee bit closer to the list topic: The only problem I have with trinity is I can't install it anywhere because the keyserver will not give me a key from the key retrieval command line shown in the "Debian Trinity Repository Installation Instructions", printed out from the wiki page of that title, its refusing my connection but I can ping keyserver.quickbuild.io just fine. Once I have that, and this next install actually installs a grub2 booter, I ought to be off to the races. The rest of it should be just a-h and elbows efforts until I have stretch running as smooth as wheezy is right now. As I've probably forgotten 50% of what I did, I know some of it will probably have to be re-invented, but I'll at least see the light at the end of the tunnel. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
