The Raspberry Pi Thread [2]

I just installed on my pi3 ,had to hook it the internet with network cable firt to get online ,also settings kept closing so i couldnot put in wifi password ,but settings worked after i got connected to the net so i was able to use settings to put in wifi password .no i will go to tvaddons and see if i can install kodi

don't waste your time ,setting keeps closing and I tried installing kodi but got no where, I will wait for it to be a final build

Ok, thanks for the heads up Jack, I think I'll pass for now.

I did some reading and its working as expected as its a hack of sorts by some Android wiz,i was told I could maybe port some driver from GitHub for apps with issues ,,,no tanks ,that above me .....

I was playing around with Noobs, and with the network cable connected ,I checked off raspbian Jessie and osmc and it installed both ,and I got to pick one at boot up ,first time I ever tried that , formatted the sd already though ,and installed Ubuntu mate ,and that gone already too, sounds were jumpy ,did updates and stuff stiff bad sound,, so gone ,,and now it has Jessie and will stay that way ..think ill put osmc and Jessie using noobs on the pi3 ,and use it that way as a main computer on it own monitor ,,wean myself off windows

how to,boot pi3 to a usb mass storage device '

Cool, but looks like a lot of work. I think I saw that in one of the Pimoroni Bilge Tank videos? Don't get me wrong, its a step in the right direction. IMHO it should be easier to do. That will likely happen down the road. If you give it a go post back with your results, please.

will do ,If I do try it , I also though it looked like a lot of work. giving a the work to do it ,ill have to get a usb adapter for my 120gig ssd drive first .
