Re: [orca-list] Some small linux device

Slightly OT: how do you ssh into the PI when directly plugged into the
ethernet port of your computer?

Hi,
Since mine are all older ones, I just ordered the model 4 with 4GB.
Anyway, you will download an image, and use a utility to burn the image to a
micro SD card.
You will provide the power and although you may be able to just plug in a
keyboard and a speaker and press super S to start Orca, you may need to plug
it into the router or if you don't have a router, you can plug it into the
Ethernet port on a computer and SSH into it to set it up.
The latter is how I have always done it due to the low RAM on the Raspberry
PI units I have had.
Depending on the Raspberry PI image you get, or perhaps on all of them, when
you SSH into it and log in, you can run a utility called raspisetup This
will configure the install and allow you to expand the image to use the
entire card.

I am sorry, I haven't any experiences with that. So, when I buy Raspberry
Pi, what can I do to have speech. What devices do I neead (headphones,
screen, speakers, etc)?

Thanks.

Best regards

Vojta.
