Wow, pretty thorough! I'm about to jump in and give this a shot, but I have two questions.

1. Was the Canola install done in red pill mode?
2. Did you still have to manually install libcap1 and avahi daemon as in the initial instructions given by Brenden, or did all install swimmingly just using app manager?

Thanks!

EDIT: Scratch everything I just said. I followed your instructions and went in in red pill mode and everything installed without a hitch. You, sir, are my savior. My podcasts and I can't thank you enough!
