I don't even know where to begin to thank people for all the *amazing* improvements over the last 3 weeks since IIAB 7.0 Preview 1. Little did we know that 2 entirely new platforms would be released (Raspberry Pi 4 and Debian 10 Buster) in the over these past 2 weeks !
As such this is an extremely powerful release having successfully navigated to transition to both -- that is incredibly promising new hardware (the Raspberry Pi 4 stands to transform schools around the planet) and arguably the granddaddy of all Linux distributions (Debian 10 Buster is the basis for many other OS's).
IIAB 7.0 is officially now approaching the final home stretch:
As such please everybody who can report any remaining glitches or showstopper issues affecting your country's schools/clinics/libraries/orphanages! (And any subtle/critical needs we might have overlooked, as you go about building your own DIY Internet-in-a-Box digital library?)
Thank you *again* to everyone who can submit (any & all) feedback that you deem appropriate, either in a private email, or right here in our tracker:
Background, just in case you're new to Internet-in-a-Box, our 1-line-installer to get you going is all you need, and it's here:
And almost 50 common questions and answers are right here, just in case :) http://FAQ.IIAB.IO

Congratulations;
I just installed IIAB on my RPi4 4 GB memory with a 256 GB microSD.card works nicely on Rpi4 wifi using 10.0.0.208 in browsers including an iphone 7...

Many thanks Tom!
1) Did you choose a MIN-sized, MEDIUM-sized or BIG-sized Internet-in-a-Box install?
As outlined in 2019's new table/chart here:
2) What do you mean by "changed memory in Preferences / Raspberry Pi Configuration to 256" and what exactly was necessary here?

I chose the minimum

Latest debian allows setting memory for Rpi 4. ( mine has largest ; 4GB)Nice
Tom
I just did a big install to my Rpi4 with a debian install on new 256 gb card.
What OS exactly? Are you talking about Debian Buster Lite 2019-07-10 ?
No ; see link below
Used 512 memory this time.
Where is this setting exactly?
For details see: updated wiki page:

I need to understand what you are saying!
And what the consequences are (:
Downloaded many apps -works well.
Note i installed firefox to debian and used it for iiab-admin.
Cool, great news Tom.

Congrats!! Wonderful to see this speedy progress. I tested out an earlier release @ DWeb Camp on an RPi4 a couple weeks ago; can't wait to try this preview. SJ

Thanks to people like Jerry Vonau & George Hunt who've made an intensive QA effort happen in recent weeks, so that IIAB 7.0's Release Candidate will be available very shortly in coming days!
A self-hosted, all-in-one radio station platform called AzuraCast[*] is even now available as part of Internet-in-a-Box — to schedule podcasts, music, and even do live streaming of audio content:
[*] fyi AzuraCast requires Ubuntu 18.04 or Debian 10 for now. It might run on Raspberry Pi later this year!

THANK YOU to the dozens of people who've tested & dramatically refined IIAB 7.0 pre-releases in recent months!
Our main testing focus during the very final stretch here is slowness during the first 5 minutes after boot on 1GB RAM Raspberry Pi 3's and 4's -- perhaps "BIG-sized" Internet-in-a-Box install have become just a Little Bit Too Ginormous possibly (: And might need a bit of pruning in coming days if the primary culprits can be confirmed, among these ~30 popular IIAB Apps/Services:
Then, a true IIAB 7.0 Release Candidate will be forthcoming extremely soon, as soon as volunteers (you if possible!!) help get this issue under control here:
