   (current: 2015 jessie)

- unzip

  - "memory split": GPU -> non-gfx: 16
  - "enable ssh"
  - "update"

# reboot   (perform sd card resize)


3. custom setup

  (I usually perform these steps already in a ssh sesson - cut & paste from here :)
  host> ssh pi@<your_raspi_ip>

  - full update (system/debian updates)

    > sudo -s
    # apt-get update
    # apt-get dist-upgrade

** Set Video Output (if HDMI is used)

  - edit /boot/config.txt:

    # 720p HDMI ready monitor
    hdmi_group=1
    hdmi_mode=19

    # 800x600
    hdmi_group=2
    hdmi_mode=9    # @60Hz

** (Optional) Wifi (here Netgear Mini USB Dongle )

  - check for adapter
    # dmesg
	# iwlist scan
  - in /etc/network/interfaces
       auto wlan0
	   iface wlan0 inet dhcp
	   wpa-conf /etc/wpa.conf
  - create /etc/wpa.conf
	   network={
	   	ssid="<your_ssid>"
	   	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	   	psk="<your_passwd>"
	   }
  - add to /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
      interface "eth0" {
 	    send host-name = "yourhost";
	    send dhcp-client-identifier <mac:addr:wlan>;
      }
  # ifdown wlan0
  # ifup wlan0

- reboot

** NSF/Autofs (for my public share)

  # apt-get install autofs

  - edit /etc/auto.master, add:
  /net	-hosts

  # service autofs restart

** Add user "chris"

  # adduser --uid 501 chris
  # usermod -a -G adm,dialout,cdrom,sudo,audio,video,plugdev,games,users,input,netdev,gpio,i2c,spi chris

** (Optional) link my NFS share

  - link autofs shares for user chris (see below)
  > cd $HOME
  > mkdir net
  > cd net ; ln -s /net/nfs-share share

** SSH for "chris"

- push SSH credentials from host machine
  (on OSX: sudo port install openssh +ssh_copy_id)

  host> ssh-copy-id chris@<yourpi>
  host> scp -r ~/.ssh yourpi:

** Stream-line MOTD

  # vi /etc/motd

      exec $HOME/raspi/piradio/piradio.py # your app!

  - create '/dev/input/touchscreen' for input device
    create file /etc/udev/rules.d/29-ads7846.rules:

    SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{name}=="ADS7846 Touchscreen", SYMLINK+="input/touchscreen"

xterm*|rxvt*|screen)
...

** auto-start tmux session on remote ssh

  in $HOME/.bashrc:

if [ "$PS1" != "" -a "${STARTED_TMUX:-x}" = x -a "${SSH_TTY:-x}" != x ]
then
        STARTED_TMUX=1; export STARTED_TMUX
        sleep 1
        ( (tmux has-session -t remote && tmux attach-session -t remote) || (tmux new-session -s remote) ) && exit 0
