@JacobL my comment about "less successful" with later releases of Raspbian was perhaps unfounded and based on my interpretation of this thread. Reading some of the subsequent messages, seems like I was wrong. Sorry about that. @Torlus, welcome back from vacations. A previous poster had requested GPI...

Thanks again @aTon and @DeeJay. Got my RaspberryPi working with the latest Raspbian image. The only difference in my previous trials and current is that, earlier I was burning the image on SD-card using "dd" on linux (exactly, as per the instructions on elinux.com site) -- and yes, with the right de...

Any updates that could be shared ? Of ano...

Note that, my question is not about running the OS headless, which I think Pidora already supports (perhaps, even Raspbian), but about the initial installation and configuration. Reason is that I nei...
