I do not have the time to watch it in whole right now, but I could skip over parts that were obviously about something else, and I spotted Raspberry Pi images mentioned twice, around 21' and 41', to say that they were still unofficial. This is different from my issue, since, unless I am reading things wrong, the Rock Pi 4 device is officially supported, see: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2021/04/msg00011.html # The Debian Installer team[1] is pleased to announce the first # release candidate of the installer for Debian 11 "Bullseye". # […] # Hardware support changes # ======================== # […] # - Add support for ROCK Pi 4 (A,B,C). And: https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/ # [ ] firmware.rock-pi-4-rk3399.img.gz 2022-07-05 15:57 496K My issue is that the procedure described there: https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/README.concatenateable_images … just does not work. On the other hand, I was quite interested by the talk about OEM images, around 43': images that we copy to the boot medium like live images but that will ask the questions and configure themselves permanently at first boot. I think it would be very useful for my other uses. Regards, -- Nicolas George
