Sindi to the rescue again. Yes, I should've searched the archive first, 
and I do remember seeing something about dropbear on your site. Installing 
your package would be alot simpler than the routine I went through to 
excise needed bits from Slack9. I'll definitely be using your package once 
it comes to installing BL3 on the real thing.

Don't think I'll need either dbclient.1 (not even sure what it is or does) 
or the README. Thanks for your input.
