   I'm modifying my original idea of deploying the RPi as a 'real' AP; but   
   I'm going to continue my 'quest' in the 'direction' of doing that,   
   because I've figured a strategy to allow me to go in the direction I   
   started toward the Pi as an AP first w/ conventional peripherals, then   
   headless.   
      
   I can do it using a spare SD.   
      
   I'll start w/ my current RPi Raspbian install, then I'll modify it as   
   the tutorial instructed to make it a conventionally configured   
   peripherally access point by using the combination of temporary ethernet   
   and the native Pi wifi w/ RealVNC server on the Pi and Tiger viewer on   
   another LAN device LM live.   
      
   Then I'll see if I can use the conventional peripheral Pi as an AP for a   
   wifi device, probably a chromebook (past EOL). Then I'll 'bypass' the   
   Pi's connected peripherals and do it headlessly, for the 'conclusion' of   
   the project.  I can use a different SD to bring the Pi back to the   
   normal peripherals and wifi connectivity.   
      
   That is, I've decided the original idea isn't so good, but I want to see   
   it work.
