Copying /etc/shadow and /etc/password from another system to the Raspberry allowed me to log in. The root partition created from other instructions was too small and any attempt to update caused it to run out of space. Created another partition using remaining 56GB and mounted as /var, updating now but will take hours.
Thanks for your help.
. my help was not solution, but you are welcome anyway. ;-)
i am glad to see that you did get it working and your solution.
later on i hope to be getting 3 rpi. 1 to play with, other 2 to put into service as a wifi repeater so i can have wifi in all of my back yard when i am lazing in the sun. right now i only have coverage for 10' from house.
i plan to set the 2 up with 'corner reflector' antennas. i pointed to inside of house feeding other pointed to back yard. such works with amateur and commercial 2 way radios, so it should work with wifi.
btw. in noting how thunderbird 'long lined' what it was quoting i am wondering, does that happen often?
have you tried <ctrl+r> to quote properly?
