I've moved the thread to the relevant board
Right, a friend of mine gave me a Raspberry Pi today.
I'm sure he'll post if he so wishes
Power supply, FAIL. But I can sort that out
USB Keyboard. FAIL. See my other post
HDMI cable and Monitor. Part FAIL
Cable. FAIL. See my other post
Flat screen TV in bedroom, HDMI compatible
SD memory card, Yup got a spare 2GB. Software install 1.90GB
Might need a bigger SD card
Installing the freely available Linux Software to the SD card.
Total FAIL !!
Two hours later, I got the software installed on the SD card
I can't try it yet, I still need the power supply, a keyboard and an HDMI cable LOL
Watch this space for future developments.
