Ok - I'll try to do an install... but; is there legact PCB documentation that might help??? OR; is that somewhere I might be able to help with the project? I'm not a great coder - I know just enough to get me in trouble... but I am good at figuring out the 'hard' installs; maybe I can help w/ dox???

OK - right. Well... I might not be good for +/- 500pgs - but I'll open vim and write down what worked for me???
