Features
- live desktop system which can be immediately used without installation
- LXQt desktop environment with multimedia support for audio and video
- full networking support with the ability to perform updates and install additional packages
Requirements
- a Raspberry Pi device (recommended: version 4 with 4+ GB of RAM)
- a 16 GB or bigger SD memory card
PreparationYou may use any operating system providing the
dd
program to copy the image to a SD or microSD memory card:
- insert the memory card and identify the corresponding device then replace
/dev/sdx
with your real device path in the following command
- run the following command from a console window:
gunzip -c openmamba-diskimg-raspberrypi-*.img.gz | dd of=/dev/sdx bs=32M
It is possible to use other applications which support the preparation of microSD for Raspberry Pi but in this case you may need to uncompress the archive in gzip format first.
