This is one of the best tutorials I have viewed. I just installed Linux Mint over an old Windows Vista machine yesterday and was able to follow you through the unzip and flash process to create an imaged SD card for my Raspberry Pi. Thank you for taking the time to create this tutorial. I will be viewing more and subscribing!
I swear this channel is a one stop shop for all kinds of sage advice. it should be a main channel youtube serves up, i found it after starting to use linode. at some point it clearly will be. thank you Jay!
Great video! Very informative, as are some of the posted comments! Yes, more videos like this would be appreciated. Just a suggestion - how to download and install software from Github would be appreciated, compiling software?
Awesome content! I would love to see more of these videos. Just got a Pi 4 and loving it. Running PiHole on is without DHCP but want to get a few other things going with it. Thinking of setting up a VPN on it as well so I can remote into my home network when away but need to find out a way to do it securely as I would like to avoid port forwarding.
Yes, that'd be good! Using the dd command again and also perhaps Clonezilla. (I have a dual boot system on a 2TB hdd and would like to clone it to a 1TB ssd)
@@artmcteagle I hope to see soon how I can succesfully do it, Especially if I am cloning an old HD on a much bigger SSD where maybe I would love to have multiple partitions on it. And how to make it bootable...
Just watched you condemning other folks that are doing what you’re about to do.. All you young guys are SO much smarter than ?I but I followed instructions from another fellow that I got everything ready but I’m afraid to try something from fear of screwing things up.. Just like you said on that video these things are not for an amateur like me. Or many others. I’m approaching 70 in 2 months and I’m the young guy where ?I live, trust me I help many of these older folks don’t seem to even know how to make a Email.. REALLY. SERIOUS. ALL use old flip phones and rarely carry them,, I tell them why you even get it if you won’t carry it?? HAY VEY. Look, you are a nice guy I like watching you as I will watch this entirely. The End
That you for your video! I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I have already learned some stuff. Thank you! I do have a question... I would like to see how to backup an existing RPi4 (presently running Pi-Hole) incase something fails (Hardware/SD card etc). So, How to create an image (Clone?) from the existing RPi4 (so that I can archive it) and how to flash it to another SD card (If needed). All from the RPi4 itself. Thanks! 🍻
I often like to save a backup of my SD multiple times as I build my system. This has saved me a ton of time often. Just the apt update can take a long time, especially over WiFi.
Is it OK if my SD card show as /dev/mmcblk0 and it doesn't show as SD/MMC. I checked it is the sd card device and not other devices. This is my first time using sd card with a linux laptop and I have already broke my previous one (first attempt) trying flash it. After that first time, the sd card was undetected by both linux and windows laptop.
Not quite related to this video, but to a single board computer in general. And also, since you love laptops so much ;) Any thoughts on the Pinebook Pro?

Back to the school learning useful things to do with Mr LaCroix
I will use the tips about enabling ssh and configuring WiFi prior to first boot from now on. Thanks!
I've been wanting to begin working with Raspberry Pi
I like these kind of videos! Do more! :)
Great video! Following along for my Raspberry pi 4 Model B Home NAS
This is a great video! Is there any way to encrypt an SD card yet still connect to it in a headless fashion using ssh?
Thank you. I definitely want to see more Raspberry pi videos
Can you make a video on installing batocera and adding roms with a usb drive?

Nice video
Can you make one to explain how exactly or what is the right procedure to clone 2 hard drive? Two SSD or from HD to SSD?
Thank you!
Yes, that'd be good! Using the dd command again and also perhaps Clonezilla.

You can use the dd command. For example:
umount /dev/
dd if=/dev/ of=myimage.img bs=4M; sync
Give that a shot, but be careful with the dd command.
Very well presented. Now, to make a backup disk copy of the boot SD, is there a faster way than dd?

Yes. Review coming soon, I have a lot to say.
Do you have partition the driver (mini SD card) through fdisk prior to writing a new OS on mini SD card with dd??
I heard you say dont partition drive, but for an OS like Arch linux, Ubuntu or any non standard OS for raspberry Pi?
to see what my SD device name is, I just do fdisk -l before and after I insert it, and see what only appears after insertion.
Thank for your video
Unicorn bash prompt... How sick is that?
I'm wondering how you can customize the icon in the bash prompt.
Check out Colt Steele, he has done a video on customizing bash prompt.
Here's the video:

A unicorn, that's so cool...:D
Can you do a Vim tutorial!
How to use raspberry pi as a thin client?
Thank you!
After watching, BRILLIANT but..
It is not your internet connection, those files are hard to download, it must be the FTP server from Raspberry
