This is a placeholder topic for anything Raspberry Pi.

I might have used this as a media centre, but I never did explore it. USB 2.0 was the killer for me, because I couldn't re-check torrents which were all corrupt by default with Deluge.

• There seems to be a lot of electromagnetic radiation coming off of it. I'm getting my old-fashioned headaches. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

  • I may want to get an aluminium case to solve this issue.

2013-07-18 - PiBang Linux installation notes ∞

(PiBang Linux)

file=pibang-openbox-systemd-20130528.img.zip
card=/dev/sdc1  # (not the root, a partition)

# FORMAT
# partitions?, need 4GB
# Format the entire disk as FAT
# (as FAT what??  32?) - seemed to be ok for [[https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/noobs/ |New Out Of the Box Software]] (NOOBS)
# align to cylinder? - seems to be ok for [[https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/noobs/ |New Out Of the Box Software]] (NOOBS)
# a label of "RaspberryPi" works.  Don't use a dash.


\echo  'The copy commences, have lots of patience..'
\sudo \
  \unzip  -p  "$file"  |\
  \dd  of="$card"  bs=4M

# use  bs=1M  if  bs=4M  fails (it will take considerably longer)

# To forcibly stop the copy operation you can run pkill -USR1 -n -x unzip (I think)

\sync
