Hi there.

Just a note that I tried the 32bit RPi build installer and it failed to allow 
me to install to /mystic/ from the root directory. I tried the sudo ./install 
option and that did not work either. Just hit the unable to create /mystic/ 
message.

If I opted for F5 use home directory it showed me the root path of /root/mystic 
 so I can confirm I was acting with root privileges when I invoked sudo but hit 
the above mentioned problem.

Also during an earlier test on the last 64 bit build I found I was having 
problems using 'mis poll 21:1/100' when I set up 21:1/100 as a BinkP echomail 
node in Mystic.

For whatever reason it looked like mis was polling out to the BinkP server but 
the receiving system on another machine on my LAN did not see any incoming 
connection from MIS on the Rpi..

So just flagging there *may* be something in the Rpi code that *might* be amiss 
when 'mis poll' is calling a binkP style echomail node?

Another thing I spotted in the mutil.ini there's a reference in whatsnew.txt to 
the new function EchoUnlink.

; exclude=MYSTIC
; exclude=FSX_*

But the reason I mention this because I wanted to let you know that you've 
omitted the function call at the top of the mutil.ini 

; EchoUnlink    = false 

[time passes]

I also ran a test using the exclude=FSX_* but have found it does not honour the 
switch, the reports I am generating 'action_mode=0' are still flagging fsxNet 
bases that should be excluded.  So something is may be up there also.

I ran the function from mutil directly using   ./mutil -run EcoUnlink 

Best, Paul
