Before you install
- Iron Linux is an early build. Read what was and wasn't tested on the Ingot page before installing on a real machine.
- The Raspberry Pi image is compressed: decompress it first, or use an imager that flashes .xz directly.
- The full uncompressed Raspberry Pi image (about 8 GB) is not distributed through GitHub Releases.
