A Postscript,
I arranged to ssh from Terminal in my main desktop to the LMS Pi. This
makes it possible to run -sudo apt-get update- and -(dist-)upgrade-

and headless is possible on a basic Debian install ( a bit more work)
One has to build the binaries for LMS on 32 bit
and there is also
When I found that Synology no longer supported LMS I decided to revert
to Plan A: use a desktop computer. My chosen computer is an Acer Revo,
but my model has a poorly specced Intel Atom. It claims to be X64, but
chokes on a 64bit Linux distribution. I installed lubuntu 18.04 (the
