[chilibowl]

Hello Fellow Linux ~Heads - Puppy linux diehards!! MY unit is Fossa PUP 9.5 with FULL install to HARD-DRIVE No-Virtual Crap or Frugal nuttiness!! Basic Intel dual core Hp computer .


I recently tried to revive my Raspberry Pi 3 Model b (Iknow this Is NOT a Raspbery Pi FORUM ).

The unit works Ok with Raspbian , but I Want to try another software distro.

So I went on EXTON linux,s webPage <fellow from Sweden > who has some Free downloads &some Pay-for- -download Os-es.

so I downloaded some Img-SZ to my Fossa PUP 9.5 Box - FEDORA PI "titled" FedEX -Rpi3-armhfp-lxde
and Exton OpSus Rpi (open SusE Tumbleweed ) -xfce-4 .

The Instructions Via this EXTON LINUX webSyte says I should issue the Following Commands : cd /root insert Sdcard of at least 8 Gb

run Install Command xzcat exton -opsus -rpi-tumbleweed -xfce4-aarch64-181126.raw.xz | dd bs=4M of=/dev/sdX iflag=direct status=progress; syncWill This WORK??????

adios Chilibowl

It should, yes. It'll simply pipe output of xzcat to dd which will then directly write to the device. So what you should be doing is making sure is to not mess up the 'of' parameter of dd.
