subject: Etcher, Windows and netwo

Just trying to install Raspbian on an SD card for my brand new Pi 3.

As per the instructions I am using Etcher.

It failed, and I thought that it was unable to unzip the archive because
it was over 4GB. However I used 7Zip to unzip, and Etcher still reported
that it was unable to access the image (which was on a network drive).

I've now copied it to a local hard drive (I try and keep everything I can
on the file server) and it seems to be working.

Anyone any idea why Etcher can't flash from a network drive?

Cheers


Dave R
