* Start `Ubuntu LIVE` from USB stick on Build Computer (press F12 on startup)
* Connect secure WIFI (hardware switch on) or LAN
* Download latest Raspbian Desktop (without recommended software) from [raspberrypi.org](https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/)
* From browser see All-Downloads-Details and on context Copy Download-Link
* Paste download link into new browser tab and add ".sig" at the end (also download)
* From browser see All-Downloads-Details and on context open target folder in file manager
