They should. And its possible it might fit in the box I bought. $70 + some memory, about 2 Gb in 2 sticks. And a sata SSD. $200 max. But I'm going to keep plugging away at this pi since I've learned a bit about it. The problem now, and I pounding on the forum, is that one of the 15 updated files over the weekend renders it unbootable. And one of them replaced at least half the contents of the /boot partition. That, and the buildbot is down, has been since Wednesday I think. > > On 05/04/2017 11:41 AM, andy pugh wrote: > > On 4 May 2017 at 17:33, Gene Heskett <ghesk...@shentel.net> wrote: > >> But the only box I have that fits that description is a huge swarf > >> magnet Dell with an old slow p4 in it.
