First Boot

Flash your RPi with a vanilla build of debian

Connect to your TV, net and apply power. In order for the HDMI to detect my TV I needed to have the TV set to the correct channel before powering up the RPi.

Let the debian first boot setup run through, the on screen notes stated that the code may hang. I found that just leaving the process to run it will complete after about 5 minutes.

Login

Login for the first time.

username: pi

password: raspberry

Change Default Password

It important to change the default user password in order to procect your RPi security when connected to the Internet.

Enter the following command to change pi password

passwd

The follow the instructions, note the programme will discourage the use of weak passswords, consider adding at least one capital leter and one number.

Reboot the RPi by cycling the power or using the code

sudo shutdown -r now

When asked enter your new password.

sudo is command that enables a user to assume super user privledges.

shutdown -r now codes the shutdown command to restart at the time now.
