PiUi imaged on SD card won't boot

Hi all!

I want to try PiUi (http://blog.davidsingleton.org/introducing-piui/). I downloaded the image (https://github.com/dps/piui-sdcards/blo ... p?raw=true) and I copied it to a 8Gig SD card using sudo dd bs=4M if=piui_plus_examples.img of=/dev/sdf and sudo sync. Then I put the card in my RPi B and nothing happened.

Note that the Pi boots correctly whit another card/another image AND it boots correctly with the same card but with standard Rasbian written to it.

If I type sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdf I get this (sorry if few words don't match, it is a free translation from French):

/dev/sdf1 (Begin) 8192 (End) 122879 (Blocks) 57344 (System) c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sdf2 (Begin) 122880 (End) 7744511 (Blocks) 3810816 (System) 83 Linux

Can somebody help me to make this card boot correctly?

It won't work on modern Raspberry Pis that image is simply too old.

Thanks!

Bad news but at least I won't waste any more time on this issue. I'll try "manual hard way" to proceed... :(
