If you plan to make an image of your card to copy onto other cards in the future you don't want this because cards are not all exactly the same size! Two 8GB SD cards do not necessarily have the exact same available memory on them so you need to leave some headroom, or when you try and use your created image on a card that's slightly smaller you won't be able to. Instead use gparted and fill the card leaving a chunk of space at the end unused – see our guide here<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n \nAt the command line type:\n<\/p>\n \nIf you want to connect via SSH, so you can copy and paste commands etc, get the IP address of the eth0 adaptor:\n<\/p>\n \nThen use your favourite SSH tool to connect (e.g. FireSSH for Firefox)\n<\/p>\n \n \n<\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Install the OS from an image file If you don't want to use the NOOBS install (its slower to install and adds a delay on powerup with its restore prompt screen) see the Win32 Disk Imager instructions here.
