Note that there is still an issue when installing. Apparently for me the install bails out halfway because the network settings are gone. If you fix these (by telling For ubunto please refer to use dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces) and rerun the installer things install fine for meUbuntu page.

=Current state=
=Requirements=
* A system to install things on. This system must support debian 6.0.1a or ubuntu 10.04.02 LTS 4 and have the needed resources. I've assumed the system has a network connection, but it will undoubtly be possible to get things working with an installation disk and some data transfer with USB disks.
* Some experience in installing things. This also depends on the way you want to install things (see below)
* Ambition to help improving things and a lot of tolerance against problems; The current version is far from finished.
Feel free to add your platform.
* x86 virtual machine under VirtualBox We are working on getting this to run under arm as well.E.g. on: * OpenRD Client (primary development platform, armv5tel)
* SheevaPlug (same SoC as OpenRD Client, but more readily available)
* x86 virtual machine under VirtualBoxRaspberry PICheck back later if you are interested in one of these platforms
=Installation=
* if you have a low threshold against bugs
Most of this was tested on ubuntu 10.04.02 LTS and debian 6.0.1a 4 on a 386 VM (using virtualbox). Also some tests have been done on Sheevaplug and OpenRD client
==Installation using an image file==
==Installation using prebuilt packages==
<b>Currently this is only supported on 32bit.</b>
You need to install debian Debian on your platform. No special packages are needed. E.g. when installing on a system without a display there is no need to install a graphical desktop.
For Debian on PC I used this guide: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ and used this iso: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current6.0.4/i386/iso-cd/debian-6.0.1a4-i386-netinst.iso
For SheevaPlug I used this guide: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install.html
For any question you get just hit return.
Then perform the following steps '''while logged in as rootor with the sudo command''':
* wget http://amahi.99k.org/debian.install
* sh debian.install yourinstallcode
* Install debian. If you install mysql do not give it a root password.
* on this system perform the following steps:
* git clone git://git.amahi.org/amahi.git
* wget http://amahi.99k.org/buildit
* sh buildit
