					I just got a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B I see there is a crux-arm port, I am having trouble understanding the documentation (I am still very noobish though :( ) Can somebody point me in the right direction? EDIT: here (https://crux-arm.nu/SupportedDevices/Raspberrypi) is the "guide" I'm following is it describing 2 different ways of installation or is this a step by step? | |||

					This installation process is different from what you might use to see for other distro. It's not the traditional "boot -> mount -> install" process, so you might have a hard time with it if you're actually "noobish" as you said. You need to create a bootable media, boot from it, then "pseudo-install" a RAM based system (initrd), boot from it, and finally install the final distro onto the SD card. This is a tedious process which rarely works on first try. I don't even think I managed to complete it even once myself (not that I'm a reference, but I consider myself an "advanced" linux user). Anyway, good luck with it, and if you manage to get it installed, report it here! I'd love to hear more about it :) EDIT: btw, thanks a lot for the link! I was convinced crux was x86 only. That's a good news! | |||

					Hey Thanks! That gives me something to work with,  I've been dabbling in Linux for a few years but I still have a lot to learn.  I'm waiting on a USB sdcard reader so I can set up the initial boot media using a different machine.  Should be here in a few days I'll report back with my findings.
