I am looking at linhes.  The gremlins continue(!) and I cannot get a USB
boot disk made.  (The ubuntu startup disk creator will not, it seems,
work with non ubuntu derrived distributions)

I should retry mythbuntu.  Thinking about it I have not been able to get
a really clean install.

It remembered the user names and machine names I gave my system.

So I will try right from formatting the USB stick, and see if that works.

As you say there is no reason this should be happening just to me.  And
I should not have to edit mysql configuration files if it has worked once.

So for the fifth time today Ill try a clean install.  At least the SSD
disk is fast so it does not take too long....
