How do I swtich from ArchLinux to Debian on E02 (2 replies)

Hi all

I used Qui's user friendly tutorial to install Arch Linux on my PogoPlug E02 :

Everything has been nice and stable but I've recently discovered the power of Debian and would like to make that switch.

Can someone help me out with the steps? I've got a Linux box (Ubuntu) up and running with a flash drive plugged in ready to follow brodhi's steps over here but want to be sure I know what I'm doing. Still not that confident with my Linux experience.

I tried to mount the USB drive at /media/sdb1 but from what I can tell so far it's mounted at /dev/sdb1 and when I CD to the /media directory I see the USB drive @ /media/username/XXX-XXXX

I used X's but it's a series of numbers that I'm not sure I should disclose. I think it's just the volume ID of the storage device.

Am I on the right track?

edit :

Reading other posts it looks like I can format the drive on Windows as well (more comforatble with that method) but not sure what I need to do other than make it ext3 (or ext2) and label it "rootfs" with only 1 partition. Does it need to marked "active" as well?
