To use it, download the ramdisk.gz image from the link above and copy it to an ATA flash card. Also copy onto the card, the kernel zImage file for the kernel you want to use. This README.txt file provides more information on using the installer.

On the BitsyX, use this cmdline.txt.

On AGX, GCX and VGX, use this cmdline.txt.

To install Debian without ADS additions, in a fully interactive mode, edit the cmdline.txt file and remove everything from "preseed/url" on to the end of the line.

Boot the system from compact flash and proceed with the first stage of installation. If you are installing Debian with ADS additions, this installation process should be completely noninteractive. If you are not you will need to answer the normal questions related to a Debian installation.

After installation is complete, remove the compact flash and replace the cmdline.txt file with the cmdline.txt files needed to boot Debian from a hard drive. The files can be downloaded from the Traditional Debian Distribution 2006-01-27 release. Consult the README.txt from that release for details and additional information about using Debian on ADS boards.

MD5SUMS provides MD5 checksums for all files in this release.

This is our first release of a Debian installer for ADS boards.
