	You can always revert back to the stock firmware by running the ''swappart'' program again. In case something goes terribly wrong this can also be done from a PC when you connect the hard disk directly.

Temporary Tutorial | The information here will change a lot in the future but wanted to get the information out here.

== Files ==

You can get the required files here http://www.geishuettner.de/docs/Linkstation/ and find more information in the [[http://linkstationwiki.org/forum/index.php?action=vthread&forum=3&topic=23 old linkstation forum!]] unil a nicer article finds it way here.

== Overview ==

You don't have to open the linkstation in order to install Debian on it. You just need telnet access to your linkstation.

# Download the ''debil'' installer
# unpack it
# run the ''debil.sh'' script this will take you to the debian installer after downloading it
# After the installer is finished you have to swap your partitions using the included ''swappart'' program

This is just a quick overview for detailed instructions have a look at the [[http://www.geishuettner.de/docs/Linkstation/Hacking%20Linkstation%20II.pdf hacking howto (PDF)]] at the page linked above.

=== Notes ===
The installer script will take your previous network configuration to the debian installation. My installation didn't boot when DHCP was enabled, so to be on the save side use a static IP address.

You can always revert back to the stock firmware by running the ''swappart'' program again. In case something goes terribly wrong this can also be done from a PC when you connect the hard disk directly.
