Howdy... I'm behind a firewall, so no chat ability. I am trying to get up and going using the angstrom images.
Reading through the various wiki pages, it looks like I have to use a linux distribution with fdisk to correctly format the SD card for angstrom? Is this correct? Do you know if there is a windows tool that will do the same thing? Is there a version of linux that you would recommend - my dell laptop does not have a ton of space left, and the old beater PCs that I have are even worse... Kind Regards, John John P.
