Monitor only works as Auto and resolution is greyed out. Any attempt to cange to another monitor results in huge text on a small part of the screen and then...

BBC Basic?

I have RISC OS running on my Rasp Pi 2 B. Is BBC Basic installed as part of the OS? If it is what do I do to access it? I thought I had it when I started StrongED in BASIC mode but it would not let me run even the simplest Print command. What am I missing in what to do? Thanks!

Re: Install Riscos with Berryboot

Apparently, it is not possible as Berryboot seems to only work with Linux distros.

What app or plug-in would you like to open the file? For instance, from your shared folder if you choose to open a doc file with libreoffice on the RPi, what happens? Do you have libreoffice installed? Yes, libreoffice is installed and Write opens if I try to open a doc file on the network - the wr...

Will the Riscos image from the Raspberry pi site install as is with Berryboot or does it need to be modified?
