Which I corrected as documented (server=10.1.1.1 was ok).
But I'll take that out again now - network specific.

? - A no-brainer really. Steve had me on the right track. After cutting 
/ro/~resolv.conf down to the most relevant three entries, it went. So I 
now have ee (anybody else like that editor?) and nano, with mc to follow 
soon. No, I'm impressed with how well this little Voyage has travelled.

What hda partitioning options does it offer at install? I'm not going to 
risk my well-spliced hdd unless I have to. I.e. I can't give Voyage 
either of the two main install-to options just yet (cf or 2ndry hdd). 
Anyway, I bet it just unpacks what I've untarred into place mostly.

Will try it again I'm sure - memory stick and/or old P1 router reuse.
A great tool. Now, is there something easier for CLI email than mutt?..
