Complete newbie here!

I have been following the instructions to update/change to Debian here >> http://code.google.com/p/dreamplug/downloads/list

I got as far as booting from the USB stick and formatting the internal SD card. I try to use the command "mkfs.msdos /dev/sda1" but it seems to be missing?

I can't see that I have missed any steps, any advise?

Hi Razza,

try this,

Code: [Select]

mkdosfs  /dev/sda1

Code: [Select]

sheevaplug-debian:/home# mkdosfs  /dev/sda1
-bash: mkdosfs: command not found
The instructions talk about a .tar.gz file, but the site actually gives you two .zip files. I assumed 'Archive Manager' would have stitched those together before extraction.
If this is not the case, maybe mkfs.msdos is in the second .zip?

Same issue here, no mkfs.msdos or mkdosfs on debian image supplied by Globalscale. I will try installing debian from ubuntu USB tonight, this image seems to be more complete.

Thanks in advance.

To merge the 2 zip files, use lxsplit, and then unzip.
The documentation from globalscale is not up not date ...
