Great! I had already figured out the rm -rf to remove the new
installation.
I understand about the SD squeeze. I ran into that problem at the
beginning, too. SD cards are so cheap that I bought a 16 GB card,
copied the 8 GB noobs SD to it then resized the partitions. I now have
over 12 GB free on /home. :-)
Before I tried installing the old components I tried to set up lazarus
so it would run as root (the PI I am working on will never be connected
to the net once lazarus is setup, and it needs to be root to debug
digital IO). It worked the first time, but after a reboot it kept
complaining about not finding system.ppu even though system.ppu was
where it was supposed to be. It also suggested that I look at fpc.cfg
(which did not change either). Just to be sure, I did the rm -rf and
re-ran setup.sh. I had 1.4.4 working by calling startlazarus via sudo,
but that route doesn't seem to be available anymore. I did audit file
ownership and protections but they seemed correct. Any ideas?
Thanks for the excellent work.
Don
