Edit the ''create-amahi-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 '''swap="..."''' to point to the partition you want to use for swap. If you do not have a swap partition just set this to a partition that does not exist.* Change the third line, if needed. It should contain the name of the Amahi ''rootfs'' file you downloaded. Example: '''rootfs="amahi-marvell-1.0.9.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'''.
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.
