2. Download the RPi Debian Wheezy image from here:



http://files.velocix.com/c1410/images/debian/7/2012-08-08-wheezy-armel/2012-08-08-wheezy-armel.zip

3. Insert a blank SD Card (NOTE: Only use a SD Card from this list) into your Windows, Mac, or Linux PC.

4. Use either Win32DiskImager or Linux dd to burn the unzipped image from #2 to the SD Card.



(NOTE: After burning the SD Card, it will say the size is 55MB. That's supposed to be that way and is OK, since the SD Card was imaged to have a swap area on it)

5. Insert the SD Card into your RPi. Connect an Ethernet cable to your RPi to your network. Connect the RPi Power Adapter. (NOTE: Make sure to use your RPi Power Adapter and do not use the USB port of a computer, since only the RPi Power Adapter will have enough current to drive your RPi and the SD Card)

6. The RPi will boot onto your network. Find its IP address using Windows Wireshark or Linux:



sudo tcpdump -vv -ieth0 port 67 and port 68

7. ssh to your RPi:



ssh <ip_addr_rpi> -l pi



<Password: "raspberry">
