Okay, it makes more sense to take smaller steps, when update install scripts are so fussy and unforgiving. This K1 has a keyboard. I will do a terminal, based on my
"titty" (tiny tty) script, but using a somewhat more readable tiny font (same width, but 8 pixels tall instead of 8 pixels). The
free font I selected will allow 100 lines of 150 characters on a 600x800 screen, and supports a huge character set (including Cyrillic and Hebrew).
I am going to figure out all of the K1 keyboard codes now...
