@sugarfree Thanks a lot!
And thanks for the build. It works for me, and I'm not sure I could even do it the manual way, so you're a life saver

Have the links been deleted?

[sugarfree]

@matchaman I deleted them to make space on the drive to upload the newer ones, but I have issues with disconnections when I am trying to upload the newer ones. I reverted them for now, and I will try again in the next few days. Sorry.

Update: New images have been uploaded.

@sugarfree thanks for updating your images

FYI when we click the link we get this

Request access, or switch to an account with access.

@ExarKunIv Thanks! I forgot to give permissions to everyone who has the link. Fixed.

Not sure what I’m doing wrong on the full version
I grabbed it, removed the extra extension to show an image file, burned to formatted card
And I’m only getting the red/white box saying trying to boot but nothing happens
I tried to Redo it , same thing

The lite was fine
I’d like to try the full
I’ve tried multi cards as well they are doing the fake thing

Ideas?
Thanks

You...didn't just rename it, did you? You have to unpack the .xz archive (or use an imager like Balena that can do it for you).

I have compressed the image using the .XZ compression algorithm. You don't have to uncompress the file, just write the image.xz with the free Pi Imager tool.

By the way, removing the .xz extension is not the right way to handle the file, as it can corrupt the image.

@sugarfree ok thank you so much, yes that's what I'm doing wrong Thanks looking forward to trying this one
