FWIW here are some things I didn't understand or did wrong. (And, of course, playing Devil's Decidedly Dumb Advocate ;-)

I've updated both:

To try to address those concerns.

Thanks. I'm sure this will help others who are as ignorant/stupid ;-)

But (after a frustrating failure to get SSH access to work - in a separate post) I got to the main course using https:

Just over an hour (using my nominal 10 mbps living-in-the-boondocks but line-of-sight radio link) - something that should be noted in the docs (along with a strong recommendation to send to a log file)?

I've done a lot of cloning here during testing, and it is taking 45 minutes on my 3.0 mbps DSL connection. I'm guessing your actual radio link speed is well below 10 mbps or there is some other bottleneck.

(I normally get downloads from Microsoft at 1 Mbyte/second == approx. 10 Mbits/s but there you go...) Is the download speed faster using SSH compared to https? Is it worth continuing to try to get the SSH method to work? Paul --- Paul A. Bristow, Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal LA8 8AB UK +44 1539 561830 07714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
