      Can you manual Install direct to SSD?

      Where would I find a good tutorial for a full manual install?
      (Been a while since I worked on UNIX, still remember most of it)

        Yes, you can write the installation image to the SSD (if you have an adapter) just like you'd write it on a sdcard. If you don't have an adapter, you can boot from the SD card and then download & write the image with dd to the SSD.

          Thank you, just realized I'd probably need an adapter and a good keyboard for this.
