The last 24 hours I've added a lot of changes. Don't bother with a test 
of anything other than the /etc/init.d/00-olcp-runin  Thats all I need 
to start.  The rest comes from the mfg server.

Whats to configure?  I only need X to run so I can route data from the 
camera to screen.  No user input is necessary.  Do I need X configured 
for that?

It seems to work fine for me here.

Doesn't that change the filesystem?  So my startup fscheck will fail?
