Good point, yes I can. Today I copied the "net-usb-4.9.22.tcz" file to piCore (FAT32) partition & while I was at it created the onboot.lst file. Plugged in HDMI, OTG adapter, USB keyboard dongle & power. Pi started up fine, but I've realised I'm not seeing the standard terminal so I'm a bit stuck. My presumption was that I could run 'cp' commands to copy to the appropriate partition. Mashing keyboard buttons & 'Ctrl+C' etc doesn't seem to do anything. Possibly no drivers for a wireless keyboard, or I'm just really missing something.
Anyway I've ordered that Zero W from a local supplier who's come into stock - sticking with the standard hardware is probably best given my skills (or lack thereof). Hopefully should have something up & running in a week or so.
Cheers for the support
