I chose door number 2 and loaded xubuntu as another virtual machine.
Everything went great, and I have wonderful looking maps. I just wish
I could have gotten the whole thing working directly on my Mac as I
did before I tried to fix things. Lesson learned don't try to fix
anything.
But that does beg the question, where do I put local maps, what
directory? I'll move them from my Mac to the xubuntu environment and
not have to re-download them.
Thanks guys for all your time and sticking with me to the bitter end.
