@sdetweil Damn you are helpful!
I forgot to uncomment the position setting. Duh. Man little things just slip by. :)

Using Raspberry Pi Zero W with latest version of Buster. MM2 working . used command in first post to install MMM-RemoteControl. Used Master Branch and not Dev. Module directory created sucessfully. Edited config.js with appropriate entries. I dont have anything displaying on screen besides the clock and Holidays .

Its supposed to display the default webpage in the center of the screen. I dont see that . Just black in that area.

Here is the config.js

code_tvar config = {
	address: "localhost", // Address to listen on, can be:
	                      // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
	                      // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
	                      // - "", "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
	                      // Default, when address config is left out, is "localhost"
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
	                                                       // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
	                                                       // or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],
	
	language: "en",
	timeFormat: 12,	
	units: "imperial",
	// serverOnly:  true/false/"local" ,
			     // local for armv6l processors, default 
			     //   starts serveronly and then starts chrome browser
			     // false, default for all  NON-armv6l devices
			     // true, force serveronly mode, because you want to.. no UI on this device
	
	modules: [
		 {
        		module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
        		// uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
        		// position: 'bottom_left',
        		// you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
        		config: {
            		apiKey: '56cab4b5d5e24cfea8c436ac591d722c'
        	}
    		},

			
		{
			module: "alert",
		},
		{
			module: "updatenotification",
			position: "top_bar"
		},
		{
			module: "clock",
			position: "top_left"
		},
		{
			module: "calendar",
			header: "US Holidays",

			config: {
				calendars: [

Thanks ! Thats the process I have been using . Painstaking. Small details always cause errors. Even if I cut and paste right from the github repository using the authors code.

Finally got it to work and upload to my dropbox. Stopping Magic Mirror worked and allowed the Chromium browser to access the drop box webpage, but using my standard credentials (which were correct) just timed out on the logon page. I tried this like 20 times. No dice. Finally logged into dropbox using my google account instead and that allowed me to access a dropbox account that I setup using google credentials.
Ridiculous!

Here is the link to the install.log
https://www.dropbox.com/s/425lhitp7tcftih/install.log?dl=0

Now on to the fun of making just simple syntax errors in the config.js file when configuring modules only to have Magic Mirror 2 complain that there is no config.js or an error. This process is 100 percent suck!

I am having a heck of a time. I cannot use the local browser to visit my drop box site any longer as it directs me to localhost_/ and there is no web address bar to type the dropbox website into.

Well that worked! Looks like Jesse is just too long in the tooth to run Magic Mirror2. Thanks again!

Ok. I will find the image and reimage my micro sd card and then run the install script from the first post and report back. Thanks!

Im going with
Raspbian Buster with desktop and recommended software
Image with desktop and recommended software based on Debian Buster
Version:September 2019
Release date:2019-09-26
Kernel version:4.19
Size:2541 MB

On second thought a smaller image seems more appropriate.

No aversion. Just want to be able to run MM. :) Which do you suggest?
