I am sorry to say that my Pi is likely a version 1 as I can find nowhere that states it is a version 2. It is also likely because it was only 40 dollars after my 20 dollar cashback bonus from my discover card. YOu mention that I should get other cards? Okay. But what should the capacity of the card for Raspbmc be? One final question: is this where you got your Raspbmc? http://www.raspbmc.com/download/ I assume you just treat it like you would install it onto a hard drive. Does that take care of the persistence as well? :-)~MIKE~(-: On Sun, Mar 8, 2015 at 2:18 PM, Rusty Ramser wrote: > Hi, Michael. > > Sorry if this isn't the solution you're looking for, but what I've done > with > my RPi is... > > 1.
