I took it straightforwardly - using Robert Nelson's latest wheezy console install to install a bare minimum 200M wheezy, then updating that to Jessie using apt-get, installing KDE and the software defined radio packages I really wanted. All good - I've been able to get Jessie running on a BBB, to install a HackRF, GNURadio and a full graphical environment. Many thanks to all working on getting Jessie working well on ARM platforms. Next step is Parallella and then a Cubietruck :) I'm EXTREMELY impressed :) All the best, AndyC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
