[arm-allstar] Problem booting RPi image

[Doug Crompton]

Les,

 If you are using Windows to download you need to use the  .exe  download
file from hamvoip.org. Once downloaded you need to actually run that file
in Windows. It is a self executable extracter into a .img file. The
resulting file will be a large 4GB .img file.  You use win32diskimager to
write the .img file to the SD card. Then take the card and install it into
the Pi.

I would be glad to help you further if for some reason this is not working
for you.
