[conspire] running without a DE- ancilliary tools? [was Re: (forw) Re: InstallFest on Apr. 13th]

[Tony Godshall]

And indeed I had done some, and got a bit stuck.  I've learned to use
iwconfig and arping and nmap and have fought with network-manager and
wpa-supplicant.  I've tried to read convoluted code and backed away.
Perhaps you'd have preferred if I'd have spelled all that out.
Perhaps it's time to try reading the code again.  You helped unstick
me, thanks.  I'm sorry you think I'm sitting on my ass on the beach
drinking a margarita or something and asking you to do all the work
while I nap in the sun. ;-)

If and when I find a window manager and ancilliary tool collection
that works for me in my current
move-a-laptop-around-multiple-locations-and-grab-a-big-screen-when-practical
and/or boot from usb mode of operation I will report back so other
mobile people can benefit as well.  You've seen how I've put things
out to the list when I find something that works- practical and to the
point.  You've seen that I give more tips than I ask for help.  You'll
get that here.  When I get there.
