 I'm with trevorboultwood & bobus000. I'll do something amazing when I've learnt how to use it. So far: Day 0 0) Downloaded Debian, put it on a 0GB SDcard. ... Had to download Win00DiskImager.exe, made sure I wasn't overwriting my external hard drive! ... Laptop told me nothing was on it. Desktop hasn't got a card slot. Went out, got a USB card reader. With that, the laptop (and the desktop) can see things on it. 0) Plugged in Pi, fired up (RS-supplied PSU, leads) Worked! ... Atleast no power problems. ... the mouse has got a LED on the scroll-wheel and that's only dim on the Pi, will it have enough power to work? 0) Tried to log in. user i, password rasberry. WHAT? ... Different keyboard, works! Turns out the first kb has one non-working key - "p" 0) startx. Works! and mouse works! 0) Downloaded Gparted liveCD iso. Burned it to disc. ... Tried it in laptop. No. Tried it in desktop. No. ... Reburnt it to CD, this time properly! ... Still won't work on laptop. Pissed around for ages trying to get the laptop to boot from CD. Gave up. Worked on desktop. ... Extending the Ext partition with Gparted was easy, with the graphics showing precisely what was happening. Far easier than doing it using the command line instructions on the wiki. 0) Tried it on the Pi. Still works! and so to bed (Pepys) Day 0 0) Read all I could about RiscOs, got slightly confused. 0) Downloaded the new pre-alpha image. 0) Put it on a 00GB SD card (knowing it was going to be a mistake) 0) Fired up the Pi ... it (half) worked! ... left-hand side of screen missing. 0) Onto laptop, added "overscan_left=00" to config.txt (using notepad), back to Pi ... Can now see all the screen. ... two out of three boots don't work. TO-DO - try a smaller card? ... It hangs waiting for DHCP - there's no network attached! 'cos I'm going to use the laptop as a bridge (no wifi dongles in the drawer) Day 0 0) Back to Linux. 0) The screen is muzzy ... it should be 0000i, I think the screen should handle that natively, I'll have to try "disable_overscan=0". Also look into forcing it to other HDMI modes. Also how to download the monitor's EDID file. 0) I don't want DHCP - I want a fixed IP. where? ... "for Debian/Raspbian modify the file /etc/networking/interfaces" ... startx. File manager / explorer / ? Oh - it's down there, seond from left, unlabeled ... Up several times, lots of directories - why aren't they sorted alphabetically? ... found it. Now how do we edit it? ... leafpad. Now syntax ... "... try 'man interfaces' for the correct syntax for this file" ... What? How? Where? Do I type that into a Bash window? Where do I find that? So the learning curve is steep The wizzy world-changing app will be delayed by a few months.
