Even greater success!
I re-tried a NOOBS install and it worked almost flawlessly, there was one hiccup where PIP red-lined and seized the upgrade process but a simple reboot and 2nd run through the upgrade scripts and things went perfectly. For what ever reason my eth0 port is still inop but aside from that everything works as advertised.
I'd suggest the NOOB's route now that I've run through it. Jim, I heeded your advice and installed mpm prior to doing anything. I think my earlier issue with a failed noobs attempt was simply not cut & pasting the files onto the SD, I believe I DD'd everything to the sd card on the 1st attempt and it must have simply hung on boot and wasn't displaying anything.
