| - | This information is pretty much the same for any type of flash storage. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Save the entire flash (disk) image as a '' | ||
| - | |||
| - | Make sure SSH (server) is enabled on the machine containing the flash memory card. You may also need to open a port on the firewall (port 2222 in this example) if you need access from the Red (Internet) interface. | ||
