Fair Warning: this "from scratch" approach to installation takes about 3
hours to complete on a recent install of Raspbian on RPi3, so let it rip

This is the master branch of (pre-release) Internet-in-a-Box 6.3, so of
course there are no guarantees, but everyone **greatly** appreciates your
feedback/testing observations, as we anticipate a final release very
shortly ("and certainly in June") if all goes well!

While you wait, feel free to read (or improve!) the docs @

I believe you need an Ethernet (live Internet) cable installed into that
