I'm 71 and not a techhie, but I get the idea of FreedomBox and want to try it 
out.

I bought a Cubietruck and a 64GB micro-SD card.  Managed to put the Cubietruck 
together.  I have a Windows 7 system.  Successfully downloaded the F.B. 
Cubietruck emulation onto the card with Etcher.  Following the video on the 
freedombox.org homepage, I inserted the SD card, connected to my router, and 
powered on.  After half an hour, the ethernet still blinks green and red, and 
FWIW the Windows Network doesn't see the new machine.

Is the video's assumption that one has a working SBC first?  Does one have to 
boot the Cubietruck first?  Is it necessary to install Debian first?  I'm at a 
loss here.

Thanks for any help.   JON
