Sorry, I'm mixing things. I was reading about EasyMer but in the end I used the instructions in here to install. So this should be the real thing, right?

if you have linux-computer add "--flash-only=initfs"
I don't have Linux PC at the moment. I had Ubuntu in my laptop for a while but my laptop broke and my desktop PC is Windows only. The boot menu doesn't bother me since it automatically boots to Diablo.

So how to get Mer running? I need Linux PC to format the card and try again? Or is it better to forget the whole Mer for now and wait till it's finished since it needs more skills that I have? Thanks for advice!
