The i7 version is out of stock, but if anyone is looking for a nice notebook to run hamPC on DELL still has some i5 models with no OS for $239 shipped.

Ernie,
I'm glad you're enjoying life on the road... Btw, we had to pay a leasing fee of several hundred a month to park... Where are you finding $5/day camping? And where do you get your electricity and water and waste dumps?
Back to HamPC...
Are you sure the password you think?you're typing matches what is being entered into the password dialog?
Here's what I mean... On my Evolve III Maestro laptop, there is some sort of "Function Lock" engaged and when I type the letter "J" for example, a completely different letter/symbol/number is displayed on screen. I have to hold down the "Function" key to type the actual letters...
Can you try opening a word processor or other text editor and see if when you type the password, it actually matches what you typed?
Also, if you can't get wireless working, you can always plug in an Ethernet cable...as a workaround...
Thanks and 73,

I hope it works out well for you.
I'm already working on HamPC 3.1...

In case it is of any interest to you, I jut installed HamPC? 3.01 to a refurbished Dell Latitude 7480 notebook. This sports 16GB of DDR4 memory and? came with a 256GB SSD drive and a core i7 CPU.
I booted it from a Lint USB drive and used the recover feature to install the hamPC image to the internal SSD. Then ran gparted to grow the root partition. Seems to be working well.

I had a DVD with full Ubuntu 22.04.1 already burned, so while I burned Xubuntu DVD, I booted the 7480 off of the full Monte. Audio worked fine with that. I listened to internet radio on the built-in speakers without issue.
Then, I booted off of Xubuntu and had the same experience. Out-of-the-box XUbuntu sees the 7480 audio devices and loads the proper drivers.
I suspect either the process that I am using to install hamPC to the internal SSD drive is not working or something may be missing in the hamPC image.
My process was to boot LINT from a live USB and then use its image writing app to burn the hamPC image to the internal SSD.

Thanks for the report.
I agree, the audio hardware would not seem to be the issue, rather the audio software components. If audio is also not present on Xubuntu 22.04, then I would say Xubuntu is the issue...

The audio works fine with MINT and Windoze 10, so I don't think the hardware is at fault.
At this time, I am burning a DVD to try bare bones Xubuntu 22.04.1 to see if it spots the audio hardware. I will keep you posted.

Ernie,
I am beyond excited that you are able to run HamPC on an Intel-based Macbook Pro. You are the first user to tell me you have done so!
My XYL and I lived full time in a 40' RV for two years. Unfortunately, it was too cramped for the things we want to do -- such as play radio and antique computers and do "real" cooking... An RV kitchen is simply too limited for my XYL who is a gourmet chef. So we went back to brick-n-mortar living and got rid of the RV. We may rent an RV in the future or buy a tiny camper for vacations, however!
You did mention being unable to connect to the network. Can you provide any error messages and/or screen captures of error messages to show what is happening/not happening?
Thanks and 73,

Sorry for
the long delay answering you.? The reason is that Rita and I

BootCamp to access a second partition on the SSD), and third,
booting to the USB thumbdrive with "your" software and OS.? No
need to get into any BIOS boot sequence.? I chose the
thumbdrive, and your OS takes over.? Works great.? There are
several things I haven't been able to make work yet, but I'd
like to spend some time trying to do so before I ask for your
help.? One thing I desperately want to conquer is Internet
access.? I can see my network, but I can't connect.? I'd
really like to do this as there may be software updates that
can be downloaded, and without his capability, I'm sure I'll

Dave, you can communicate with me any time via this medium,
