=== 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''.
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/>
Edit the ''create-cleanamahi-f12-plug-disk.sh'' script:
* Change the first line, the one that says '''partition="..."''' to point to the partition you want to use to boot your plug computer.<br/>If you're not sure, '''ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/''' and see if you can find it there.
* Change the second line, if needed. It should contain the name of the Amahi ''rootfs'' file you downloaded. Example: '''rootfs="amahi-marvell-0.89.tar.bz2"'''
* Comment (add a # character at the beginning of) the two following lines, the ones that say '''echo "Please edit this script...''' and '''exit 0'''.
