And/Or question 2: F29 aarch are .xz, need I have fedora installed say x86-64, to have dnf (?) to write the aarch image for rpi 3 B+? Or, is there a writable .iso available instead of the f29.aarch.xz? Ty Ted On Saturday, December 8, 2018, Kevin Cummings <cummi...@kjchome.homeip.net> wrote: > Hi Folks, > Longtime Fedora user here.
