[3.6.6] - 2025-08-27

realized that fortune doesn't show up for root user (on Debian systems at least), ans so it doesn't copy over the 99_fortune.sh as expected, so the workaround is to copy it anyway and handle the lack of fortune in the shell script itself at call time

I founds that more often than not, I didn't want my external IP to be shown so openly (i.e. when I want to use my server to show some demos), so I'm commenting out the EXT_IP that was added in v1.1.11

[2.0.5] - 2021-04-01

Changed

obtaining CPU info from lscpu rather than from /proc/cpuinfo as info for non-standard CPU types (i.e. Graviton2) won't necessarily show up in /proc/cpuinfo
CPU info includes chip vendor

[2.0.4] - 2021-03-05

added verbostiy to the install script
