As I booted to use the depmod command recommended by rcrsn51 I saw the lights on the dongle flickering and knew all was well . I think the wi-fi adapter needed to be reset and that didn't happen through several reboots. Apparently a power off was necessary.
Thanks Geoffery and rcrsn51.

I made note of it and since I cannot connect from Carolina I maximize my connect time by continuing to browse: forum threads, news, email. As I was unaware of a deadline for responding, I did not hurry to reboot into the problematic distro and try the advice given. I may have even visited the forum a couple times ahter that. When I rebooted Carolina and saw the flashing lights I was so excited that I forgot to set up DHCP and having failed, used depmod. I was eventually successful in connecting as stated in my last post, but that's after several reboots before I was comfortable reporting success. Then I rebooted into my other distro which with saved passwords, bookmarks etc, makes it easeier when online. Carolina will eventually get there.
4. You don't have to wait. I am sure you know of the watch option in a thread. That's what I use when I pose a question and await an answer.
I appreciate the time you take to help me and others but your action, reaction and explanation was very surprising

rcrsn51 does that a lot. It's kinda just how he rolls, lol. When he doesn't hear that his advice works, usually within a fairly short time, he assumes that the other person has moved on and no longer needs that advice at all -- so he deletes it. (Which kinda screws over the guy who comes in a year later looking for help with the same problem...)
Put another way, his advice comes with a price -- you have to try it more-or-less ASAP, and you have to report back -- or you you don't get it at all.
While I certainly don't endorse such practices, and while I also think that what he's trying to do (increase the amount of forum feedback on solutions) won't happen the way he goes about it -- I do understand, at least a little, why he does it that way...

Updated Repo
converseen-0.9.1 batch image converter, requires ImageMagick
xfce4-weather-plugin-0.8.5 xfce panel plugin, this one has language updates
xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin-1.5.0-lina xfce panel menu plugin, now able to search control panel for applications.
I'm still looking at the xfce 12 as an update, I need to package it in a way that it don't change the configuration files of an existing Carolina installation, so it may only need the binaries updated.
I found that now that it has the ability to have different wallpapers per workspace that the theme manager don't support wallpapers, but seems to work ok otherwise.
I'm taking my time with this, so I don't expect to release it for some time.

awesomeness!
now i can halt the file contents search for "defaultspreadsheet"
turned out to be adrv_Vlina_1.3.sfs
my first time editing an sfs. Doing the 'convert' process, inside pack-repack, right now-- extremely slow.

based on tip below, sounds like my solution is to first do a full (non-frugal) install, then remove officeLibre package, then remaster--

@johnywhy
Just editing the adrive should be all that's needed to remove Libreoffice, you would need to remove all reference to it.

remove
Try moving the adrv_lina_1.3.sfs or which ever one you are editing to a linux partition with enough space, I have no problem extracting.hrm, convert/extract is freezing on me. am i doing this wrong? how to edit the sfs?
I wouldn't know, I do all my builds manually, you don't need the adrive to boot if you only want a basic version, then add what you want from the repo, though I prefer the edit sfs option.based on tip below, sounds like my solution is to first do a full (non-frugal) install, then remove officeLibre package, then remaster--

Strange that after all this time full install has never been mentioned, there are no plans to as Carolina is based on Saluki, but if a full install is a option in Saluki then there is a bug, can anyone verify this?
