Is it correct now? I switched to plain text.

No. But there is a RPi 1 image in this folder:
https://ftp.freedombox.org/pub/freedombox/stable-2017.06/
It's not listed on the web site yet, but could be added.

However, there is 1 significant problem with this image: it doesn't use
a Debian-packaged kernel, but instead the kernel is installed by
rpi-update. As such, the kernel is not automatically upgraded either, so
you should re-run rpi-update occasionally.

Hello,
 
I'd like to try out freedombox on an old Raspberry Pi that I have.
 
(I know that the Pi is under-powered for serious freedombox use, I do not plan to use it seriously).



On the RaspberryPi page [1], it is written that images for the Pi are available.

You can get a image here
https://www.freedombox.org/download/testing/

However I could not find one on the downloads page [2]. I only see a "Raspberry Pi 2" image.

Would this image work on the Pi 1?

No.

I did not dare to try and turned to freedom-maker instead.

 

Still, I feel the wiki page would need an update to either advise on using freedom-maker or to be more specific on the image to use. Which change would be the best?


Side note : the RaspberryPi3 [3] instructs on using the "Raspberry Pi 2" image.
 

Thank you!
