[How-to] install latest Jessie with NOOBS

[procount]

I have seen several requests from users who want to go back to installing Jessie or Jessie-lite using NOOBS until the teething issues they are experiencing with Stretch are ironed out.

So I created an additional OS list for NOOBS that should add the last archived versions of Raspbian Jessie & Jessie-lite from the RPF downloads site to the standard list of provided OSes.

If you already have a NOOBS SD card, edit the recovery.cmdline file in the root directory of the SD card to add the following text to the end of the existing line:

Code: Select all

repo="http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/os_list_v3.json http://raw.githubusercontent.com/procount/pinn-os/master/os/os_jessie.json"

If using PINN, add the following text instead:

Code: Select all

alt_image_source=http://raw.githubusercontent.com/procount/pinn-os/master/os/os_jessie.json

Caveat: I have not been able to test this yet, so please post any issues here and I'll fix them when I can. (One positive feedback to confirm it works would be good )
