um. moving files... PHYSICALLY? That's so.. um.. 1980s. Why are you avoiding sftp/scp/etc? > Any chance of installing on the built-in emmc drive and using the SD > card for storage? the built in storage now works -- check your dmesg, you should see it, in mine below, it's sd1. I believe it works, though I realize I haven't really tested it yet. You would probably need to down the system when changing sd modules. > Can I install a more recent snap than the one at > the ftp servers? Latest one seems to be October 30. Not sure why snaps are not being built, but I brought a system up to current following current.html. Note there is a problem with dhclient doing that -- you can either hard-set your IP address or (as I did) finish the build through the serial console, but after the build it is working fine.
