Initial install dietpi-wifi.txt - pi zero W

General Discussion
1

I observe on initial install the file dietpi-wifi.txt is moved to /var/lib/dietpi/dietpi-wifi.db and the database constructed.

However, being an idiot, I forgot to add any details, so the pi didn’t find a network.
To recover it seems the simple solution is refresh the image and start again.
It’s only adding network info and wifi details.

The confusing thing is, I cannot see the file in the GitHub repo.
So where did it come from on the download image ?

Note, I successfully installed 6.34 on a pi zero W 4 days ago, this time I’m trying the beta 7.

Thanks

Hi,

many thanks for your message. WiFi config files are created by DietPi PREP script, that is used to generate all images.

Thanks.
I tried to cp the file back to dietpi-wifi.txt, update and restart but that failed for me.
Maybe some other things I missed.

I reflashed and started again, and 7 is released !
