Not that I have much more than a toothpick to steer this project with as 
a builder currently distributing a preempt-rt kernel and a build of 
master that runs well on an rpi4b starting from a buster 10.3 raspbian 
full install, anything that reduces the lengthy list of extra installed 
dependencies in order to build master on the rpi4b without loseing some 
functionalities like gscreen and printing a classic ladder graph which 
is the current case, would certainly be appreciated.

However, the question then becomes, since I haven't dealt with mint in 
several years, (I liked it then) does mint have an iso that installs it 
on an rpi4b? What I can see on their download page says its all for x86 
and up. No armhf installs are visible.

Does this leave my rpi4b efforts for naught? I'd like to think that JT's 
efforts to get us started will not die with me, and while my parts list 
is beginning to resemble the 6 million dollar man, its also plain to me 
at 85, that I don't have another 20+ years left to support the raspbian 
armhf version which will without a doubt drift away from whatever 
version you wind up publishing.  Its the nature of the beast that is an 
OS anybody can play with.
