Required Equipment
Installing Debian
- Insert a USB drive into your Pogoplug
- Connect your Pink Pogoplug to your router with an ethernet cable and power up the device
- Next, open a terminal and connect to the Pogoplug partition of your Pogoplug via SSH:
ssh root@IP_Address_Of_Your_Pogoplug
- When prompted, enter the default password: ceadmin
- Next, prevent your Pogoplug from auto-updating by running the following killall command (Note: this step is an extra precaution and may not be needed).
killall hbwd
- Format your USB drive using the fdisk partition tool. More info

instead.
NOTE: You should configure partition 1 as Linux (ext2) with a minimum of 512MB (the default bare-bones installation is 280MB.) Partiton 2 should be configured as Linux Swap (256MB).
- Start fdisk on the USB drive:
/sbin/fdisk /dev/sda
- At the fdisk prompt, delete old partitions and create a new one:
- Type o. This will clear out any partitions on the drive.
- Type p to list partitions. There should be no partitions left.
- Now type n, then p for primary, 1 for the first partition on the drive, and then press ENTER, enter values.
- Now type n, then p for primary, 2 for the swap partition on the drive, and then press ENTER, enter values (SWAP 256MB).
- Type "t", you will be asked to enter the partition number, type "2" and hit ENTER
Then you will get a question about hex code, type "82" (linux swap) and hit ENTER
- Type "a", Set partition 1 active and hit ENTER
- Exit by typing w.
- Once your USB drive is formatted, enter the following commands to install Debian Squeeze:
cd /tmp wget
Link ist nicht mehr aktiv.
chmod +x dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin
./dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh

- The script will now download and extract the debian image on your USB flash drive. This will take some time - mine took about 20 minutes in total.
- When the install is finished, the script will prompt you to reboot into your new install. After a couple of minutes, reconnect to your Pogostick via SSH.
- Note: my router re-assigned my Pogoplug with the hostname "debian" which allowed me to login via SSH using:
ssh root@debian
- Depending on your router, you may need to use the IP address instead. You can confirm the IP address (and hostname if assigned) of your Pogoplug by logging in to your router's admin page.
Done
# Change Password # erstmal nicht ändern
- The default password for your new Debian install is "root." Once you're logged in, you should change your password to something more secure:
passwd
Install Nano (Optional)
The base install comes with the

expert, you may consider also installing the

:
apt-get update apt-get install nano
Upgrade to Wheezy
- Once Squeeze is up and running, you can upgrade to Wheezy by changing your /etc/apt/sources.list to point to wheezy instead of squeeze.
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
- Notice I've also changed the country code to us:
deb

wheezy main
- Now issue the following commands:
apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade reboot
Note: During the upgrade, answer "y" to the two disk device ID questions.
- After rebooting, you can ssh into your Wheezy install and double-check that you're now running the Linux 3.x kernel:
uname -a
Ich habe auch gerade Beides aber bei mir läuft der 1043 seit Monaten perfekt, und ich sehe jetzt auch keine Notwendigkeit gegen den Pogo zu tauschen aber ist halt "Nice to have". Debian auf den Pogo ist etwas komplexer als ein Router zu flashen, aber auch ich als Linux noob habe es hinbekommen und es ist kein Hexenwerk. Also nur zu!
