== Step 1: Prepare your boot device ==
Connect your boot device (USB hard drive, USB flash drive, or SD card) into a working Linux machine.(you can use your plug computer!)<br/>
If needed, partition your device to create a partition you'll use to boot. No need to format it.<br/>
If a swap partition is desired (highly recommended for the PogoPlug & DockStar), create a second partition on your storage device, between 512MB and 2GB (depending on how big your storage device is), and format it as ''Linux Swap''. Example partitioning depending on your boot device type & size:{| cellpadding="7"! 2GB Flash Drive<br/>or SD Card! 8GB Flash Drive<br/>or SD Card! 16GB Flash Drive<br/>or SD Card! USB Hard Drive<br/>(40+ GB)|-|2GB, unformatted|512MB, Linux Swap<br/>7.5GB, unformatted|1GB, Linux Swap<br/>15GB, unformatted|2GB, Linux Swap<br/>The rest, unformatted|-|}
Download the Amahi ''rootfs'' file and ''create-clean-f12-disk.sh'' script into your Linux machine. Don't store them on the storage device you want to use on your plug computer.<br/>
* Comment (add a # character at the beginning of) the two following lines, the ones that say '''echo "Please edit this script...''' and '''exit 0'''.
<strong font color="red" style="font-weight: bold">Big Warning!</strong> Putting the wrong partition in this script will completely erase that partition! Be careful what partition you target!</font>
Run the ''create-clean-f12-disk.sh'' script: '''bash create-clean-f12-disk.sh'''
