Raspbian with Pixel is now too large to fix on an old 4GB SD Card with office and the programming tools.
However if you want to run a stripped down version of Pixel this is can be achived with the following steps:-
First install Jessie lite from here
Gain SSH access by adding a file in the root of boot named ssh
I then added support for multiple SSID’s for PI WiFi
/etc/network/interfaces
Code:
auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-driver wext wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf wireless-rate 54M
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant network={ ssid="HOME" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk="PASSWORD" } network={ ssid="WORK" key_mgmt=NONE wep_key0=PASSKEY }
