NOOBS 1.4.1
NOOBS (New Out Of the Box Software) version 1.4.1 provides beginners an easy way to install operating systems on their Rasp Pis. The NOOBS installation manager offers the following operating systems:
The Raspbian and Raspbian "Boot to Scratch" images are located on the SD card and can be installed without access to a network. Other options require a network connection for network-based installation.
The DVD enclosed with this issue comes with a collection of some of the best and most popular Raspberry Pi distributions. Format an SD card of at least 8MB with an SD card formatter (Windows and Mac) [8] and drag the files inside the uncompressed NOOBS folder to the SD card. On Linux, follow these instructions online [9]. Finally, unmount the SD card, insert it into the Raspberry Pi, and reboot.
In the NOOBS boot menu, select the operating systems you want to install. To try different systems later, hold down the Shift key at the Raspberry splash screen to bring back the NOOBS boot menu. Many of the articles in this issue assume you are running Raspbian "wheezy." See the links in the "Resources" box for information on the other distributions included on this DVD.
