Code Club 7/10/2023 Write up

We had four of the regulars today. It was a mix of coding in Scratch but also sorting out some of the netbooks, trying to download Win 7 and get this copied on to a memory stick so we can install. First attempt to dd the iso file failed, second attempted worked but ended up with the device not booting or being seen by the netbook.

So a good session.
