You are wrong. Image may be NSFW.I could be wrong but I believe that ZERO is only 32bit and can't run Bookworm. The PI Imager says to use 32 bit Bulleye.As stated, I am looking to set up a pi zero in ad-hoc or access point mode... I am unable to find any newer guides on doing this with Pi OS, Bookworm.
Clik here to view.

Yes, the Zero is 32-bit only. But it runs 32-bit Bookworm quite happily Image may be NSFW.
