'''2.''' Decompress the downloaded image with '''7-Zip'''

'''3.''' Copy it with '''dd''' on Linux or with the [http://www.alexpage.de/usb-image-tool/download USB image Tool] on Windows to a USB flash drive.

For example with Linux:

<pre style="color: black; background:lightgray; font-family:courier; width:60%">
dd if=“Tabor_debian_8_powerpcspe_5“ of=“disk drive ID“
</pre>

'''4.''' To boot Linux image from the USB flash drive, insert the USB flash drive into the A1222. Next enter the following at the '''A1222>''' prompt (pressing enter after each line):

<pre style="color: black; background:lightgray; font-family:courier; width:60%">
setenv bootargs root=/dev/sda2 rootdelay=5
fatload usb 0:1 1000000 uImage.sdk17.2
fatload usb 0:1 2000000 tabor2.dtb
bootm 1000000 - 2000000
</pre>

'''5.''' The login details are as follows:

Username of '''root''' has the password '''amigaone'''

Username of '''amigaone''' has the password '''amigaone'''

==Installing Debian 8 on a Hard Drive==

After trying out you could copy it with "dd" to a hard disc from your booted Debian. You
don't need to create any partitions. You just need to copy the image with "dd" from the
booted Debian to a hard disk.

'''1.''' Download the image from the following link:
[http://www.fun-kart-racer.de/2bb57b2bbf87b668a94c/Tabor_debian_8_powerpcspe_5.7z Tabor Debian 8 PowerPC SPE]

Please use the following login details to download the file:

<pre style="color: black; background:lightgray; font-family:courier; width:60%">

</pre>

'''2.''' Decompress it with Xarchiver or Engrampa or use "Extract Here" in the context menu
(right-click).

'''3.''' Copy it with '''dd''' to a hard disk:

<pre style="color: black; background:lightgray; font-family:courier; width:60%">
dd if=Tabor_debian_8_powerpcspe_5 of=“disk drive ID“.
</pre>

For example:

<pre style="color: black; background:lightgray; font-family:courier; width:60%">
dd if=Tabor_debian_8_powerpcspe_5 of=/dev/sdb.
</pre>

Use /dev/sda if your system has no other hard disks installed. If there is one hard disk already installed, then the USB flash drive will be assigned /dev/sdb

'''Important Note:''' Using '''dd''' will destroy any existing data on your hard disk, please backup before using this command.

'''4.''' After that, you could increase the Linux partition with GParted if you like.

'''5.''' To boot Linux image from the hard drive, enter the following at the '''A1222>''' prompt (pressing enter after each line):

<pre style="color: black; background:lightgray; font-family:courier; width:60%">

</pre>

Or you could directly boot the kernel and the DTB file from a hard disk by entering the following at the '''A1222>''' prompt (pressing enter after each line):

<pre style="color: black; background:lightgray; font-family:courier; width:60%">
