You shouldn't do that....

You don't need to "build a Linux machine". You just follow the above on a Raspberry Pi4 /5 with 4 or 8 gig and be done.
David, I'm trying to follow your advice and the tutorial but am stuck. The flash went fine and I have bootable media for the PI that seems to be working OK. I have a monitor and mouse/keyboard hooked up to the PI. Problem is it won't hook up to the internet via lan cable or wireless. My wireless hotspots don't show in the PI. And the PI doesn't show up on my homes 192.168.X.X network. Seems like the PI has somehow assigned itself an IP of 127.0.0.1 as far as I can tell.
I had a spare card and flashed it with a standard PI setup and it was easy to set up wireless and it worked fine so I know the hardware is good.
Not sure what to try next. Advice appreciated..
Thx
