Caution
Answer honestly on script question OSMC? Because on OSMC we need to disable OSMC repository to sucessfully APT-GET DIST-UPGRADE. When OSMC repository enabled, it fails with upgrading libc6.
What gives
Script will install everything you need to get Raspberry Pi Zero W working with 2 inch Waveshare 320x240 display and iPod's clickwheel.
