Hi Colin,
thanks for your reply. I habe seen your update in the github instructions.
I am absolutly sure, that I have selected the right OS option: Pi5, other Pi OS light (64bit), Trixie. Meanwhile I have investigated some info in the web. It might be that in the RPi Imager some settings had not beed stored ore saved correctly. In one video there was shown to go forward and backwards on the individual settings like SSH and others before going to press the save button.
I did a few images with the older RPi-Imager (1.8xx), also the image for the V2.
Could you prepare a SD card with V3, like I can order it from the BATC-shop for the portsdown ? Or as an exception an dpaying by paypal ?

Kind regards
Helmut, DL9SDL

I made an image of the working system I built yesterday.
You should be able to download it from here..

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TkEZCh ... p=drivesdk

You can then unzip it and write it to an SD card using win32diskimager

GitHub won't allow large files like this so I can't make it available there. It also takes up a lot of my Google drive space so this is not a permanent solution.

Thanks Colin

I will download to check. Once the bank loan for a 32GB SD card comes through I can test it :D

I wonder why it is so big? Maybe there are things we can remove. It would be good to have both PD5 and Langstone in one file.

I used Image-backup which is supposed to shrink the image down as much as possible. That ended up being about 7Gb which then zips down to 2Gb.

The image probably includes a lot of stuff that could be removed, but I have better things to do with my time than go through it removing things until it breaks. I don't know of any utility that can do that automatically.

Colin.
