Feel free to add issues here. If you add an issue an email to the amahi developers list with a more detailed description and/or a bug report in our bugzilla is also greatly appreciated.
* The default debian browser (konquerer ephipany if I recall correctly) will not indicate progress while installing
* Apache status is not displayed correctly in servers tab
* only a few packages are available (if any) I tested phpsysinfo, hello-world and wakkiwiki. Not sure what is available to others and what has been assigned to me as tester.
==Installation using prebuilt packages==
Currently this is only supported on i386 (32bit) intel and on arm little endian (armel) hardware and only tested on armv5tel.
You need to install 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 PC I used this guide: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/
For SheevaPlug I used this guide: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install.html
There are two things to keep in mind:
When being asked for a mysql root password, leave the password empty (actually you might will get this question more than once). <br>Also I opted for automatically start hddtempFor any question you get just hit return. Then perform the following steps while logged in as root:* wget http://amahi.99k.org/debian.install* sh debian.install yourinstallcodeWhere yourinstallcode is an install code you generated on www.amahi.org Note, while installing you will face a long wait after the message "install code looks good" and after "initializing plugin factory"
Then perform the following steps:* get repo.tar.gz: ''' wget amahi.99k.org/repo.tar.gz''' (location will change)* untar it: '''tar xvf repo.tar.gz''''* modify /etc/apt/sources.list. Add a line like: '''echo deb file:/root ./ >> /etc/apt/sources.list'''. The dir after file: should be the place where you unpacked the tarball (or if you generated the packages yourself where you issued the dpkg-scanpackages command)* '''apt-get update'''* '''apt-get -y install hda-platform'''; say y to the questions. Note that this may take quite a while.* when When done, reboot the system* after rebooting and open a browser (this may be on a different system) and go to http://yourmachine-ip:2000 where yourmachine-ip is the ip address of your amahi debian hdaThe system. It is recommended will ask you to log in, use firefox as everything is tested with it. Konquerer does not seem to update progress on the installation* insert your installation code and hit startuser that you created while installing debian. This Note that after log in amahi will take a substantial time (especially when at 9% it says installing packages.* when done without error, reboot.* next refresh force you to change the ip address password of your client and that user to a different (so your hda is added to your /etc/resolv.conf!) and browse to http://hda/setup to set up your hdapassword.
==Installation using the sources==
* and compress it: '''gzip Packages'''
You have now build your packages. You you now can install things like explained in the previous section, skipping packages by performing the first two following steps:* echo "deb file:/root/repo ./" >>/etc/apt/sources.list* apt-get update* apt-get --force-yes -y install hda-platform * hda-install $1
