Hi Alexandre,
I have two Raspberry Pis and one Banana Pi. I might be interested in an implementation but
my feeling is - the Banana Pi is more worth to work with. It's nearly as cheap as the
Raspberry but is a lot better designed and more powerfull:

Hi,
Interesting! But I saw some persons having trouble with its network reliability, but the
Pi is not perfect too... 1gb of Ram definitely helps.
I'll look at making the image. I don't know yet if I'll use the image provided
here as a base or simply Raspbian.

1. I downloaded the image ...

2. Checked the sha512sum -- OK
3. Wrote the image to a class 10 MicroSD card with bzcat.
This image does not boot in a model B+ 'Pi which is the only model now
available here in remote rural Geriatria. That makes sense as the
files in the FAT32 (firmware) partition are much too old for the B+.
So borrowed an older model B (no +) and a MicroSd to SD adapter --
boots fine, get the expected raspi-config for initial setup, but no
sign of tde/trinity. apt-get update, apt-get upgrade gets lots of
updates/upgrades (including, I think, the newer firmware files that
may/should be B+ compatible - will recheck this later).
Still no tde/trinity. Please, what do I need to do to install
tde/trinity, in GOF-speak thanks.
Ta,

Well the last time I tried it (1 year ago) it was working. It is likely
that somewhere along the line the updates started failing, leading to a
peculiar XFCE-less RPi image without TDE installed. :-P
I'll download the latest Raspbian image and see if I can fix up the
auto-generation system.

FWIW. Just checked, the update/upgrade replaces the firmware files so
it now boots into a model B+ and remains backwards-compatible with the
B. Mark +one for the Debian/Raspbian folk. :-)

This one will take a bit longer to fix than I had anticipated; not only
did the Raspbian devs upgrade binutils on the image but not in the
repository (thus causing the TDE installation failure) but to top it off
the image ran out of space during installation. Now I need to implement
image resizing...

Sure, Iceweasel is now included. The image generator has been repaired
and new images compatible with the B+ should be available in the next few
days.

Hi,
Yeah, I downloaded the image and it contains no trace of TDE at all. Its
only like the basic Raspbian image... I guess that the image can be
slightly bigger with today's not-too-expensive large SDHC cards. Also, is
it possible to ship it with iceweasel please? Midori is quite problematic
on many websites and is not much faster at all.
Thank you!
