 == Run Firefox OS within Raspbian ==
+Now that your host machine, RPi, and development circuits are set up, you can run the demo.  Ensure that your RPi's HDMI out is plugged into a TV or monitor; Firefox OS draws directly to the GPU's framebuffer, it doesn't use X11.  So currently the Firefox OS display can't be remoted.
+The following commands start FFOS
+ ssh pi@$rpiaddress
+ sudo ./ffos/start.sh
+You should see a lot of logging spew written to your console.  Finally, Firefox OS will load the demo application.  If all goes well, your screen should blink green/black every second, and the LED in your demo circuit should blink on/off approximately in unison with the screen blinking.
+Finally, return to your open copy of <code>$dev/ffos/app/html/app.js</code>.  Find the string <code>'green'</code> and change it to <code>'pink'</code>.  Save the file.
+Now we're going to reload the web app.  Foxberry Pi has a "reload button" --- the literal, physical button you built for your development circuit! :)  Press that button and hold it down for about a second.   Your web app should reload and the background start blinking pink/black, instead of green/black.
+So yes, Foxberry Pi enables save-reload web development.
+Congratulations!  You're ready to develop apps for Foxberry Pi.
