* Download the [[https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer][Debian Jessie "netinst" installer]]
* Use [[https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/usb-creator-gtk/][Startup Disk Creator]] or [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNetbootin][Unetbootin]] to copy the netinst image to a USB thumb drive
* Connect the machine to your internet router using an ethernet patch lead. Freedombone is a fully free (as in freedom) system and so wifi drivers may not work. A wired network connection will give better performance anyway.
* On the target machine boot from the USB drive and go through the installation. It's a good idea to use LVM and disk encryption together with a long passphrase which will be hard to crack by brute force methods. Keep a note of the passphrase in your password manager.
* Within the installer unselect the *print server* and select the *ssh server*
* After installation use ssh to access the machine and become the root user
