tde has so far refused to install on bullseye without tearing down the 
whole system. apt insists on tearing the system bown to the point of 
needing a re-install. Not even a text shell left.

Which I have probably done 20+ times already.  Why? Because I didn't 
unplug all usb stuff, I use wireless keyboards and mice. It assumes any 
seriel adaptors found by the installer, and theres 2 here, 1 for heyu to 
talk to its cm11a, and one to talk to a legacy computer in the basement,
are to be treated as a braile printer and all the drivers for that 
installed and also installs a screen reader orca too, all without asking 
the user if he wants that stuff during the install. But because that 
stuff demands top priority, and orca has not learned english all that 
well but thinks its better to run at 300% volume, its extremely 
distracting to have it yelling out every keystroke. If I disable or try 
to remove it after the install, it will not reboot, only re-install. 
Right now I've managed to get it to reboot, but uptime is only 7 to 14 
days maximum before something freezes me up, forceing a front panel power 
switch reboot.

Right now I've managed to get 16 day and 17 hours uptime but my gfx is 
getting nervous. A freezeup is in my immediate future.

I've no clue where debians famous stability has gone, but I sure don't 
have even busters stability now.  Wheezy was a year at a boot, unless the 
realtime kernel was updated. I have an rpi4b running 1500 lbs of 80 yo 
Sheldon lathe. I building the rpi4b a realtime 4.19 kernel has locked 
that against updates, the rpi4b has a small ups and I have a 20kw 
autostart standby in the back yard so that pi's uptime running buster 
from raspbian is in years unless I'm making somebody else an sd card with 
a realtime kernel. The system is completely up to date as of yesterday.

Thank you rhkramer, take care and stay well.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
