Installing older version of Raspbian

[salamures]

Hi there,
so for some reason i just want to try Wheezy on my Raspi. Is there any possibility to add the wheezy.iso to my NOOBS -Loader? So that i can either install wheezy or Stretch?
If this isn't gona work. How am i able to install wheezy? Since NOOBS is preinstalled with the actual Stretch Version?

Thanks, Greetings

You can download older version here: http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/images/

But be aware that older versions of Raspbian only work on older models of the Pi computers.

.ISO are generally for Optical Discs like CD/DVD.


NoobS is a one hit wonder, therefore your best bet is to just use another SD Card and forget Noobs, alternatively if you like the idea of multi choice then PINN offers more options including Custom OS:

Raspbian Wheezy pre-dates the Zero Family and RPi 3B, so will need a Kernel Update

to add the wheezy.. to my NOOBS -Loader

no, but for JESSIE was a trick:

PINN ( not NOOBS) allows to use a USB stick to install from.
so besides that that solves the old problem that a installable OS on a NOOBS ( not lite ) wastes 1GB
also there is a way to store the noobs /os/... directory from the old http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/NOOBS/images/ ZIPs to a stick and load it ( also offline ) to install from.

i think http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/NOOBS/ ... 015-05-12/ gives a NOOBS_v1_4_1.zip
with possibly latest WHEEZY and unzip /os/Raspbian to USB stick

download latest PINN lite https://sourceforge.net/projects/pinn/f ... p/download
and unzip to a cleaned ( sdformatter5.0) SD card ( or other bootable USBstick / for a usb boot enabled RPI )
for headless work can use option
vncshare
added into first line of recovery.cmdline
also should do the ssh and wpa_supplicant.conf file trick

that was a nice idea, but NOT THAT EASY as it comes from a very old NOOBS needed:
-a- pls delete file flavours.json
avoid naming conflict with internetdownloaded Raspbian (stretch)
-b- rename path /os/Raspbian to /os/W_Raspbian
-c- rename Raspbian.png to W_Raspbian.png
-d- edit os.json name: to W_Raspbian


here i also copy a converted raspbian jessie image setup to the USB stick "My_Raspbian"
so i can install
++ OLD WHEEZY AND/OR
++ used JESSIE AND/OR
++ STRETCH ( via internet download )
