Creating SD cards
There is a Windows program that some people use but I only use the Raspberry Pi imager, or sometimes Balena Etcher.
Copy IMG
Mick warns that pi-shrink is unreliable. Here it is all the same.

I did this on Bellman and worked there I think. I think. Did I make notes?
sudo apt install dcfldd gparted
Building new images
pi-gen is what the Raspberry Pi folk use. See /boot/issue.txt on a standard image. For example,
Raspberry Pi reference 2023-12-11 Generated using pi-gen, https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen, 2acf7afcba7d11500313a7b93bb55a2aae20b2d6, stage2
I have to run pi-gen on an x64 computer. I tried on a Pi5 and it would not run. I want to use the Docker version. I am running on Murre where git and Docker are already installed. There is a copy on Bellman.
cd ~/Documents/Projects/TARRA git clone https://github.com/RPI-Distro/pi-gen.git cd pi-gen docker compose up
Not sure where this leaves me. It did something. :-) It ran "apt-cacher" whatever that is.
