Thanks sorted but did do an export $MBSE_ROOT to cover it as well.

Wonder why they have not created dual platforms 32 and 64 bit like every other
distro?
Now to try and work out why their instruction for migtating a SD card to a HDD
does not result in a
working system. Did take a look at the network boot but not convinced it is a
real working solution as
its wired link does not look that it is running at full speed.
I wish they come out with an upgraded mobo with improved bus speed (to match
the CPU etc) and 2 Sata
connectors (or even just esata). Would get around the speed problems although
increasing RAm to 4GB would
also help and I would expect the cost to double.
