Will the Ql emulator fit in the spare 20M? Bryan H Thanks for helpful comment. I came across a bit about ARM emulating 68000, so that Atari and early Mac programs would run. Way above my head, but it seems to be another way round. I know SD cards 8G and above are quite cheap but I see no point in having programs like word processor, spreadsheet and browser etc loaded when they are redundant. They'll only pop up asking to update etc. Just need a bare Linux with only the tools to manage it; not even sound in my case. My son-in-law has his R-pi just tucked away driving his home server and nothing else. I just want the lightest Raspian there is. Perhaps I need to get into the Debian community.

So, worth getting some more 'G's.

Apologies for the top posting, I'm on my Tab so it only does top! Anyway, your card has most likely been filled up. I shouldn't imagine that the uqlx emulator will fill up the remaining space, but I use a 4g card minimum. You might run out of space if you ever update the operating system though, but having said that, some recent updates have reduced the space required.

[Ql-Users] R-pi
Hello All, I received a message to say that my R-pi was dispatched by RS yesterday ParcelForce Express 24 hrs, and gave me a tracking no. It duly arrived in Manchester 7.24am. Not having come by lunchtime, I rang ParcelForce. If extra wasn't paid for Saturday delivery it will come on Monday. I wouldn't normally be bothered but I have grandchildren visiting who would love to get their hands on it (and their Dad would too!). I've not even got an SD card prepared.

Good, you should soon have your R-Pi ... I chose to have the OS pre-installed, on an SD card, which is Debian Linux. However, the directions for a DIY installation are on the Pi web site. -- Malcolm Cadman ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
