    Thanks Rick for the URLs. Strangely enough I had to shut down
both Tb and Firefox before i could use them.  After eating supper
tonight I thought about the problem and came up with shutting down
both programs and logging out & in before restarting either and
it worked.
    So I will try to make some sort of visual interface on the
Alpine Linux in the VB with the setup scripts before the next
meeting.

     Bobbie
