   Reconfiguring RPi

   This isn't the right group for this thread, but right now I'm not   
   subscribed to a more appropriate one. If y'all think I should take it   
   somewhere else, I'll subscribe there.   
      
   My project is about changing my RPi3B from a conventional Raspbian   
   desktop to a headless AP according to the tutorial here:   
      
   https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-3   
   as-an-access-point/all   
      
   > Setting up a Raspberry Pi 3 as an Access Point   
      
   My plan is to sorta do it like the tutorial, which I have never done,   
   but to do it somewhat differently than the article, which I have ALSO   
   never done.   
      
   The 'current' RPi has wifi connectivity and functions like a desktop for   
   such as a browser and newsgroup. What I've done so far is to add   
   ethernet connectivity, because the wifi is going to be corrupted from   
   the gitgo.  Then I will complete the tutorial to make the Pi an access   
   point w/ monitor, mouse, kb; but that isn't what I want in the end.   
      
   I want the Pi to become a headless AP so as to enable its new location   
   which can only 'support' power and ethernet, not the peripherals.   
      
   I also have no experience going headless.
