   How to stop cloudinit confusing me in rp   
   16 Jul 25 10:30:26   
   
   From: cl@isbd.net   
      
   I just created a new USB image for a 'clean' Pi 4B.  What I got was a   
   repeat of the last one I created several months ago with the previous   
   hostname, username, password and so on.   
      
   I'm beginning to think that rpi-imager is too clever for its own good.   
      
   I also find that the way it asks about customisation is totally   
   misleading.  If you answer 'Yes' to "Would you like to apply OS   
   cusotmisation settings" then you'd expect it to then ask what you want   
   to do. What it **actually** means is do you want to apply the settings   
   it has remembered that you did several months ago!  Not to mention   
   that 'No, clear settings' and 'No' are rather confusing.   
      
   There should be some sort of help to clarify all this.   
      
      
   Maybe I'll just go back to using 'dd', much more straightforward! :-)
