[QUOTE="Kemosabe, post: 596345, member: 3202"] Making some sweet progress today but I've had to pay some school fees! Firstly I struggled because the disc image utility was writing a blank sd card. Learning #1 verifty the md5# number so you dont waste any time with a faulty image. Learning #2 is that all 8GB SD cards are not the same. They vary by what may amount to the decimals - but they could be 50MB or 100MB different between the different brands. This is enough to confound the write process given the image is an image of an 8GB SD card and I dont know of any way to shrink it to fit my 8GB SD card - all you need is the image to be a tiny bit bigger than your SD card and you're done for. Solution...use a 16GB card. No problem after that. Tried 3 different 8GB cards and they all exhibited the same issue. Learning #3 - you may have to fiddle to get the wifi dongle to work. I would love to tell you what packages I installed but I dont really know. It was a 2 hour blur while by savant brain took over. I woke up naked with a beer in my hand at my pc and the dongle was just working. When I piece together the missing 2 hours I will let you know. [/QUOTE]
