That is good to know, the actual file is a huge pig though, and I don't really get it, I suppose the point is that the image has to cover the whole card, so it is large, but there is lots of space in there.  So far, relatively powerful new computers are choking on this file

"Also, you shouldn't need to spend any money on unzipping software. You can use the trial version of WinRAR for as long as you like, and there are many free unzipping alternatives out there."

Can you suggest some.  I tried, cloudconvert, and it choked on Remix, though it did Phoenix and that file ran.  I used Winrar for an attempt on Linux/Pi project.  that one didn't work either, it might have been because I didn't run something like Phoenix to burn it, just tried to copy it.  Ancient history.  Comparatively though, the file sizes were small.

But the point is that I can't use the fee Winrar because I already burned through the trial, and they want me to pay.  They ask why I don't want to pay.  One of the options is that one thinks winrar is/ought to be free, which made me feel small, but come to think of it is my operating principle.  Is there a hack to perpetuate, winrar.  I tried deleting cookies and using a private session of Firefox.  Other family members have tried to open it, but it chokes everything in sight.

"Pre-burned cards were indeed available as options via Backerkit."

Geez, I bought everything else under the sun.  Were they loaded with Remix?

I think I have the process for Phoenix worked out.  It sounds simple enough, and I watched identical different videos on the process.  SO here is hoping.

Many thanks!!

Hey again.

Not sure why the file you are downloading is so large, it shouldn't be any bigger than 1.5GB maximum and should not take too long to download, even for a relatively old computer. 

WinRAR should let you keep using it, even after any trial period has expired. So not sure what the issue is here either. Anyway, two alternatives are WinZip and 7-Zip.

I believe RemixOS was one of the options with the pre-loaded microSD cards, yes.

Good luck with PhoenixCard. Remember, there is only one image of those available on the Software part of the Pine64 wiki that is intended for burning with PhoenixCard. All the other RemixOS images offered (8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB) are designed for use with Win32DiskImager or via the dd command in a terminal on Macs or Linux-based systems.
