   booting into graphical mode, I again encountered that my touchpad is
   broken.
   these things broke shortly after the warranty expired.
   it turns out my wifi card disappears when I go into graphical mode,
   which has halted the download. I found this trying to websearch on the
   system for gnome mousekeys.

   restarting networkmanager got wifi going

   ctrl-alt-tab can be used to switch to the gnome task bar like an
   application. I can get from there to settings but haven't found how to
   change settings tabs yet. ctrl-alt-tab again brings me to the menu
   where there is an option for keyboard shortcuts: ctrl-S for search.
   mouse keys is under universal access. I can hilight the switch for it
   but neither space nor enter actually toggle it.
   once hilighted, tab moves inward to the toggle button. it's set! 1113.
   the mouse is very very slow. modifiers don't seem to speed it up. I
   guess that's workable.

   my virtual machine setup is kinda cool, I have virt-manager using the
   root partition as a raw image, so I can boot windows and linux from the
   same disk simultaneously without conflict. this took some websearching
   and is a little confusing a buggy.

   windows is still doing all its updates. maybe come back to this later,
   unsure
