During installation you will be asked to optimize your installation for performance on the Raspberry Pi.
Say YES! Make sure you have a stable Internet connection during the process, as you will be downloading a number of 3rd party open source libraries.
Raspberry Pi Wi-Fi¶
Note
Two Wi-Fi USB modules have been tested with KA Lite on the Raspberry Pi
- Raspberry Pi WiPi adaptor
- Edimax EW-7811Un
In our tests, we found that the WiPi adaptor supported a higher number tablet connections.
