Add Post install chapter and improve the swap section
The root password is: amahi<br/>
(Change it!)
 
== Post Install Action ==
If all seems to work, you can now disable your old DHCP server, and let your plug computer act as your new DHCP server.<br/>
You'll need to [[RenewIP|renew the IP address]] of your client computers, once your old DHCP server is disabled.<br/>
You'll then be able to access the Amahi dashboard at http://hda, and your installed apps using http://app_name
 
If you created a swap partition while partitioning your storage device, you might need to tell Amahi to use that partition for swap space. You'll need to change '''/dev/sda2''' for the real path to your swap partition. SSH into your Amahi server, and execute the following:
mkswap /dev/sda2
swapon -a
 
You will also need to edit the /etc/fstab file to use that new partition at startup
 
Check that everything is now working with
 
free
 
The total on the swap line should not be 0 if all worked out.
Note: On the SheevaPlug, the onboard NAND flash is called /dev/mtdblock2. You might want to use it as a swap partition, as it would be faster than your SD card or USB drive.
 
Note: if the command free shows that the swap is not activated (displays 0) you should check the /etc/fstab fiel and make sure that it points to your swap partition. Then either reboot the plug or
swapon /dev/<partition>

If you need customizations for your device, you can install the [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/CrossToolchain ARM cross compilation toolset] to compile things like the kernel, multimedia libraries, etc. etc.
