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
