2.2 GB ZIP file expands to a 7.2 GB IMG file so make sure you have 10 GB free on a filesystem that supports big files. Most flash drives use FAT which has a 2 GB file size limit.

KNOWN ISSUES

Pi 3 Bluetooth hicups a little first couple minutes but then smooths out. My Panda BT 4.0 adapter doesn't have this problem and my Pi 2 is still the main MP3/audio player the house. I paid $15 for the Panda though and another $10 for an EDIMAX WiFi dongle, so I guess I can't complain too much. It's like $25 worth of extra stuff for free.

Locales package doesn't update correctly. I'm using the testing version so it shouldn't need updating much but whenever it does immediately afterwards do the following:

sudo cp ~/Public/pelinux/patches/locale.gen /etc/
sudo locale-gen

That's really the only package on hold you should ever unhold, unless you really know what you're doing. I've included everything I could think of in the same patches directory above, though. Just in case you hose up your system you can try to re-apply my fixes manually.
