Thanks, your 1st work around of checking out a meta-ti that matches 
denzil worked for core-image-minimal.  How in the world you knew how to 
find that commit number is the part that amazes me, but a lot of things 
amaze me. When I started programming we only has to worry about whether 
to use an 026 or 029 model IBM keypunch machine. :-)
