>compressed *.raw.xz images which must be unpacked (at least under >windows) to write on SD card.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils provides links to programs that should expand the .xz file on a Windows system. The expanded file is what must be copied to a SD card and used in an ARM device. Note that the raw image has a modest size (in order to fit on an 8GB SD card.) I usually use 16GB or 32GB SD cards, and expand the ext4 root filesystem on the SD card to the maximum possible size for the card in use, before I boot on an ARM device. Any Fedora system can do this (x86 architecture is fine) using the parted, e2fsck, and resize2fs commands. This is not a necessary step, but it is easy to run out of space when there is only a few gigabytes available, as in the raw image. It would be convenient if the First Boot operation offered an option to resize the root filesystem. Someone may have already done this, yet I failed to notice because of my habit. _______________________________________________ arm mailing list -- arm@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to arm-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
