Hi all, This has suddenly had it's priority raised a bit for me. I was fiddling around with my Ultimate OpenRD, and I managed to render the boot disk un-bootable. I'd like to re-install with either Bullseye or Bookworm (Prior to my fumble fingers, it was happily running Bullseye via upgrade from Buster and probably Stretch back before that). Ideally, I'd like to try Bookworm, but if that's not possible, I'll be happy with Bullseye.
Do you think it's possible to make the install stuff for the OpenRD's sometime soon? Thanks very much!
