[arm-allstar] Configure node in the field

[Tony Ross]

Yes they sound alike, and "elinks" is installed here, but it is not

"elinx" as quoted is nowhere to be found in the arch-linux repositories.

Thanks for all the work you do, Doug. Hopefully you can find some time 
to enjoy some of those many rabbit eggs your kids and grandkids 
collected, even if only in rabbit-egg-salad sandwiches. <grin>
