Noobs shows Raspbian only

Fri Mar 04, 2016 7:09 pm

Hi there

After downloading Noobs only Raspbian is available for installation although the description says "It also provides a selection of alternative operating systems...".
What is wrong?

Regards

In order to see more choices you need to have a wired Internet connection to the RPi at time of install.
Unless specified otherwise my response is based on the latest and fully updated RPiOS Buster w/ Desktop OS.

NOOBS is an easy operating system installer which contains Raspbian. It also provides a selection of alternative operating systems which are then downloaded from the internet and installed.
