=====Setting Up the Environment=====
With the SD card connected to the Linux PC:
*Using a tool of your choice format the SD card to ext2 or ext3 (Linux 83).
**I used gparted and formated the SD card to ext3, but fdisk would also work.
*Mark the partition with the boot flag
**This can be done using gparted, but mine had issues applying the changes. I used fdisk.
**To enter fdisk, use <pre>fdisk /dev/sd*1</pre> where * is the letter associated with the SD device and the 1 is the partition. Once in fdisk, use the help to determine the specific command to mark the boot flag. For me it was "a".
*Next ensure the .img file uncompressed previously is accessible by the Linux machines. I used another flash drive.
*Use the command <pre>dd if=OLPC-School-Server-0.5.2-dev01-i386.img.gz of=/dev/sd*1</pre>
**This will take some time depending on the system performance.
*Use resize2fs to re-size the partition <pre>resize2fs -p /dev/sd*1</pre>
