I'm not sure I can recall everything I actually did to the install, in the way of mounting the 2 partitions of the u-sd as a drive plugged in n this machine. The most important is that the default install already has a user "pi" as user 1000. And adding oneself to the sudoers and group files still doesn't get you free reign of the machine. Basically I renamed everything pi to gene, including the /home pi directory. Nuking any evidence that there was a user pi anyplace on the system. You can add yourself to sudoers, and anyplace pi as added in group, but the heavy duty stuff still asks for root's pw, which is unk. But I've one more place to search and fix, the raspi configuration can only be edited by pi, and pam upchucks all over the place about that. Probably an owner:group and access rights on the file. All that of course and at some point I haven't gotten too, remove network-manager as I had to make /etc/resolv.conf and the interfaces file both immutable. But the editing of the mounted disk, isn't for the grocery bagger. I know just enough about that stuff to be dangerous. The pam lashup makes it ask for the root pw to run synaptic, which I have destroyed so an empty pw works, and haven't reset it to something suitable I can remember. I don't really care as this whole home network is behind a dd-wrt install on a buffalo router. It NAT's my network, so all machines have unrestricted net access, and it does one port forward to the apache2 web server because the web page in my sig is actually on this machine, well sandboxed. And no special, can be exploited stuff is allowed in the sandbox. So I'll think about it when the machine is actually making swarf. That will be the final proof its practical. I'll have to take some pix of the conversion and put them up on my web page at some point of course. It will be quite a lengthy story, so I might break it up into a computer/control section, and a mechanical section thats specific to this specific 11x36 Sheldon.
