And for me too - thanks so much.

So I know that the instructions say don't do this, but I did it anyway, I have a PW3 and I used
Update_KUALBooklet_hotfix_v2.7.29_install.bin Update_KUALBooklet_v2.7.29_install.bin into mrpackages and then ran ';log mrpi' which invalidated one and one worked. I could have sworn I'd tried that before, and pretty much everything else that MRPI can install, but this time it worked and that's what counts.

I had USBNetwork installed but sshd was failing for some reason, it's still not 100% reliable, I'll look at that tomorrow. The 5.15.1.1 'upgrade' blatted my /etc/passwd, but having given it a new root passwd I'm back ssh in over WiFi, so I'm very happy.

Tomorrow's job is to research all the OTA blockers! I've had Alpine Linux take up most of my space for years, I think when I deleted it then the OTA had enough space to do a download, which is why I was hit by this so late.

Many thanks to all that have helped here, I had pretty much given up hope, but now I have a super lightweight Linux box and all my books to take on long distance wild camps again.
