added.  i *really* like trinity desktop as it's amazingly lightweight
and highly functional.  i may actually put it as the default instead
of xfce.

 i have it installed and tested on one of the microsd cards, it works
really well: if you could test it out to make sure it's functional
that would be _really_ handy.

 btw if you've not got a server where you can upload packages as a
repo i'm sure one can be found somewhere.
