Thanks.

I worked out that root defaults to /bin/sh before reading the voidtips page above. Also worth mentioning here that Firefox-esr (52) is installed by default from the xfce4 live iso. Firefox release (59) is also available as is Chromium (65). Some font-puggling is needed (fontconfig stuff) to get sub-pixel rendering.

In all, quite nice. I'll see how long it takes me to break this.
