Yes, “noticed” it usually takes a short while for the wired ‘regular’ 
computers too. The little RPi doing quite a job, especially as I’m also 
making it do it all over the 5G WiFi.

Haven’t moved it downstairs yet but in the meantime installed VNC on it 
so if the remote control fails or I accidentally get somewhere where 
don’t have a remote button to push I can try up here.

I have one: it’s at /home/pi/tmp. The problem may be if the user (pi) is 
changed so is that portion of the pathname. <Playing> OK: – and 
presuming you know all this stuff better than I ever will --

ls tmp     Wants to look at a file called tmp

ls /tmp Looking at the subdir


ls /home/pi/tmp     Didn’t work. (I was thinking you could use 
/home/$USER/tmp)


...Not a permissions issue: I just wrote a test file of 
/tmp/Stephen.txt. You didn’t do like I’ve done and absentmindedly type 
‘temp’?!
