Thanks - yes, I sorted it out with the image on Saturday, but I had to use a larger SD card than the one it originally came on (my sentence below is ambiguous).

Definitely tightrope walking without a safety net, so I'm also setting up a nrf24l01 network using an Arduino attached to a PC so that I can backup my own files from the SD card. It's likely to be a bit Heath Robinson.
