Subj : Installing on a Pi 3 B+

Hello All!

I have managed to build mbse on a brand new Pi (using a SD card as total
storage).

I must work out how to use a USB hard drive with its own power supply (the Pi
power is not high enough at
2.5A).

How ever when trying to install mbse I have hit a snag and cannot work out how
to get around it.

Namely I cannot so a 'su' to install it via make install that is because (I
suspect) that the su feature
is not available only sudo.

The standard user needless to say is user  pi when starting the system.

If I do a sudo -s

then run make it complains about $MBSE_ROOT not availble.

Can I do a sudo -s the set $MBSE_ROOT by just running export
$MBSE_ROOT=/home/mbse

Then make install ?

Will that work correctly?

I appreciate that the Pi is not the ideal hardware to run a bbs but I am
'assuming' I can work out how to
use a usb HD (there is no HD conenctions for a Sata) and just boot up and run
from it.

One issue I do know is that the O/S Raspbian is only 32 bit while the Pi is 64
so creating a reduced
system. The Pi 3B is possibly the first that is 64 bit.
