Portsdown 5 Installation

Any suggestions for how to fix this would be welcomed.

I have suggested this before but rather than ask people to download the OS and run an install script, which is surprisingly challenging for some, even more so than for the more experienced of us to actually follow the instructions (guilty as charged), produce an image that works and put it on the server. Define which screen is plugged in where and if necessary, have an image for each supported hardware. That way people are all starting from the same point, there are no uncertainties around server availability or badly configured ISPs. This image could be quite minimal but it will still be large. Github?

Colin - I'm encouraged to hear that you have seen similar behaviour. I'll do some more testing, but it seems to be more complex than just changes to cmdline.txt or config.txt.

Mike - I hear you, but No. Simple software updates take me about 5 minutes with the current publishing system. Making a new image and uploading it every time would extend the process to a few hours.

No, I only mean one image, the initial install. Then it would updated in the normal way.
