- Identify the partition of microSD card
Run sudo fdisk -l, insert the microSD card and re-run sudo fdisk -l again. Identify the newly inserted device which partition is normally /dev/sdc or /dev/mmcblk0, then export it as variable and then as root:
$ sudo -i
# export sd=/dev/mmcblk0
- Format the SD card
Warning: This will destroy all the data from the microSD card.
Run fdisk $sd and type in the following (<E> means enter, ignore the spaces):
o <E> n <E> <E> <E> +30M <E> t <E> c <E> n <E> <E> <E> w <E>
For your information, this will create 2 partitions on the disk (fat32 and linux).

Mount the partitions
# mkdir -p /mnt/boot /mnt/root
# mount ${sd}p1 /mnt/boot
# mount ${sd}p2 /mnt/root
Download Webconverger (be patient)
# cd /mnt/root
# git init
# git remote add origin https://github.com/Webconverger/rpi2.git
# git pull origin master
Setup the boot partition
