      @columboscoat so I was wrong I have a B+
      However I attempted to download the 0/1 image.
      Installed it using DD and get a Kernal Panic now.

                So you have a Pi 1 B+ ? Go into Raspi-config and set the GPU memory to 256. The Pi 1 has 512 Mb RAM. It needs at least 64 to show any GUI, I believe.

                      @MaxHekami 2V power supply? If so, nothing will work.

                        @rbaker It's a Pi 1 B+... I think. 2A is more than enough.

                          @rbaker maybe he means 2Volts... then feck it. He's lucky to even see the CLI. Sort your PSU out, mate!
