Thanks, I didn't make the connection between all the versions of 
underlying software that goes into a release/application.

My problem is my hardware is too new for *buntu 20.04 so I have to find 
a balance between release and kernel version.

I know that Linux Mint 20 will work if I use the 5.11 kernel. I think it 
uses the older php 7.*

I did try localhost:6544 and that worked but at this point can't do what 
mythweb can do.

Thanks again,
