These images can be copied to a USB drive, then you can plug it into a laptop/netbook/desktop machine and boot from it. You will probably also need an Atheros USB wifi dongle (the black protruding object on the left side of the netbook in the picture above), because most built-in wifi usually requires proprietary firmware.

Proprietary drivers *are not recommended* because they're unsupportable and may be exploitable or contain malicious antifeatures which fundamentally compromise the security of the network. However, the trade-off between security/maintainability and simply having the ability to communicate at all may be a valid one in some situations. +Install some prerequisites: + #+begin_src bash sudo apt-get install xz-utils wget +#+end_src + +To download images with dat: + +#+begin_src bash +dat clone dat://6d1b73d13b6f9b5c481c6dfd64be6aa58e1cd2d153a6bb04bbc177999ee9925e/ +cd 6d1b73d13b6f9b5c481c6dfd64be6aa58e1cd2d153a6bb04bbc177999ee9925e +#+end_src + +Or to download images directly with wget (may be slower): + +#+begin_src bash wget https://freedombone.net/downloads/v31/freedombone-meshclient-insecure-i386.img.xz wget https://freedombone.net/downloads/v31/freedombone-meshclient-insecure-i386.img.xz.sig +#+end_src + +Check the signature: + +#+begin_src bash gpg --verify freedombone-meshclient-insecure-i386.img.xz.sig unxz freedombone-meshclient-insecure-i386.img.xz +#+end_src + +Then clone to the USB drive, where sdX is your USB device: + +#+begin_src bash sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=32M count=8 sudo dd bs=32M if=freedombone-meshclient-insecure-i386.img of=/dev/sdX conv=fdatasync,sync,noerror #+end_src @@ -72,8 +120,6 @@ sudo apt-get install xz-utils wget wget https://freedombone.net/downloads/v31/freedombone-mesh_beaglebone-armhf.img.xz wget https://freedombone.net/downloads/v31/freedombone-mesh_beaglebone-armhf.img.xz.sig gpg --verify freedombone-mesh_beaglebone-armhf.img.xz.sig -sha256sum freedombone-mesh_beaglebone-armhf.img.xz -ad8f22c0d46c98a80aa47b5809402971cf5cf26ebf587c59a667307b2386c3d2 unxz freedombone-mesh_beaglebone-armhf.img.xz sudo dd bs=32M if=freedombone-mesh_beaglebone-armhf.img of=/dev/sdX conv=fdatasync,sync,noerror #+end_src
