In any case, navigating a buster-bullseye dist upgrade immediately upon setting up a new Pioneer Edition FreedomBox might be challenging, or at least nerve wracking, depending on one's level of familiarity with Debian and FreedomBox. The problems people ran into upgrading and their solutions can be found in the discussion forum, but they center on trying to track progress during a very long process and having to manually handle a couple of conditions not handled by the dist upgrade automation.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, it's probably simpler and more straightforward to write a newer image to an SD card and use that in place of the SD card from Olimex (or overwrite the card from Olimex). Although there's not yet an official bullseye stable image, an image of the current FreedomBox release (on bullseye-backports) is created weekly.</div><div><br></div><div>The wiki contains instructions for downloading an image and writing it to an SD card:</div><div><br></div><div style="margin-left: 3ch;"><a href="https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Download">https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Download</a></div><div style="margin-left: 3ch;"><br></div><div>This is where the Pioneer Edition weekly images are located:</div><div><br></div><div style="margin-left: 3ch;"><a href="https://ftp.freedombox.org/pub/freedombox/pioneer/weekly/">https://ftp.freedombox.org/pub/freedombox/pioneer/weekly/</a></div><div style="margin-left: 3ch;"><br></div><div>If you go with a weekly image, you'll probably want to check "Enable auto-update" and activate "Frequent Feature Updates" to receive new FreedomBox versions released to bullseye-backports. </div><div><br></div><div>On Wed, 2021-12-29 at 17:17 +0100, Peter Grove wrote:</div><blockquote type="cite" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex; border-left:2px #729fcf solid;padding-left:1ex"><div class="">Hello,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I have bought last week a Pioneer Freedombox.
