I found out that you should do a three finger swipe-down on an iPad, in order to get a pop up menue.

But for me, the menue is both half visible and does not work, or is visible for usch a short moment, that I cannot click in it.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for all good answers!

I looked around some, and got alarmed by what a corrupted setup might do.

Also, I am interested in using NTFS, and maybe booting from the hard disk.

As I am new to Linux, you see perhaps that I am clearly in trouble, if I am going for a sturdy system.

Thanks!

I happen now to own two Pi 3B+ motherboards.

Is it possible and smart to run one remote without mouse and keyboard?

Thanks for your reply.

But I have a 3 B+, and it seems to offer new possibilities.

Also, since Linux is complex and I am almost a beginner, please if someone could be more specific?

Thanks!

I have a working Raspberry Pi 3B+, with the stuff I want a strategy for: 32 GB SDC 8 GB USB stick Powered 120 GB hard disk I am aiming for some beginners testing (Yes, I have an EE degree, but that was 30-40 years ago :-) ). The reason for asking exactly this question is the complexity level I met, ...

Also, now I cannot resist asking for more details about how to boot up from the hard disk.

I am somewhat familiar to unixes, but totally new to Linux and hardware level on them.

I wonder about the easiest method of getting my Pi to boot from HD?

Best Wishes,

Thanks for your answers! I have a Raspberry Pi 3 B+. Now, safety first, I bought a powered USB-2 Hub yesterday, so that I can be sure everythinh is ok. I am not new to this, but it is 30 years since my engineer years, and I am totally taken aback by the complexity of it all. :geek: Thanks! /notdesig...

I wonder if the standard power supply is beefy enough to connect a portable 120 GB USB-3 drive to it?

Thanks!
