Hi Adam (and audience).. You're my hero, I have added bootcode.bin to the USb stick, and kept only bootcode.bin on the 'boot' sd, and this time it worked like a charm ! I chose the 'standard' installation (wipe the bootdisk), had all updates and non open source stuff loaded while installing and all went well. Afterwards a did a apt-get update/upgrade and an install of gedit an synaptic without any issues. I am actually writing this mail on the Raspberry PI ;-) As you anticipated it did not request to remove the USB stick, but it booted without problems with the USB stick still plugged in. I only removed it after login. I will use this boot sd card (16 GB) on a RPI zero and see if it can boot as well. Thanks again, and I'll keep you posted. Brgds, Yvo 'happy Xubuntu fan' Brasseur.
