Install OS

I installed Debian 5 stable. The ethernet driver in debian package does not work for the intel gb card. I used a usb nic that is compatible out of the box.

To get the built in ethernet to work, I downloaded the newest e1000e driver

wget http://downloadmirror.intel.com/15817/eng/e1000e-1.1.19.tar.gz
tar zxf e1000e-1.1.19.tar.gz
cd e1000e-1.1.19/src
make
su -c 'make install'
reboot

Configure the network card (reference). I used

cat >> /etc/network/interfaces << E
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

I would prefer the onboard chip to be eth0 and forget the usb ethernet adapter. I opened /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and deleted the line for the USB device and changed the PCI device to be NAME="eth1"

I ran through the default options, setting timezone as appropriate. I selected Guided Partitioning -> Use Entire Disk -> All File in One Partition. When asked which software I wished to install, I selected only 'Standard system utilites'

The following assumes a user account 'root' and 'maemo'. 'maemo' is a user account
