+## Go Slow, Make a Plan
+
+There is nothing really easy about diving into this system administration work
+and getting things up and running but on the other hand there is nothing so
+complicated that it cannot be figured out. In short: you can do it!
+
+The two most important things to take into consideration before starting are
+
+- Choosing a "route" through this documentation (see just below).
+- Reading the [Prerequisites] section very closely and trying to
+  understand, **before** you dive in, how things will work with your Raspberry
+  Pi and how it is setup and connected to the internet.
+
+There are 3 routes you can take through this documentation:
+
+- **Cloning**: Skipping the entire thing and simply cloning a pre-made copy of
+  a Bibliotecha SD-card onto your new SD-card. You can then plug the SD-card
+  into your Raspberry Pi and Bibliotecha will be ready to go. Skip to the
+  [Cloning] section for more. This is the *moving really fast and don't have
+  time* option.
+
+- **Automated**: You follow the documentation below: [Prerequisites],
+  [Pre-installation] and finally [Automated Installation]. This allows you do
+  to the initial setup and then a run convenient installation script which
+  takes care of installing Bibliotecha. This is the *moving fast but still want
+  to be involved with the process* option.
+
+- **Manual**: You follow the documentation below: [Prerequisites],
+  [Pre-installation] and finally [Manual Installation]. You do everything
+  yourself to get from start to finish. Everything that would be done in the
+  automated script, you do yourself. This is the *I have time and want to learn
+  a lot* option.

 You should follow the [official setup documentation] on the Raspberry Pi website
 in order to get your board up and running. You will need it to have access to
 the internet in order to download the necessary packages as well as access to
 the command-line.
 
+!!! warning
+
+    You **must** use an Ethernet cable to connect your Raspberry Pi to your
+    router and not use the Wifi connection. This is because the Bibliotecha
+    install process will overwrite the Wifi configuration. So, you also
+    **must** have access to your router before going further.
+
+Here is an example of what we did.

 The current latest [Raspberry Pi 3 B+] model is recommended. This model is
 chosen because it offers a built-in wireless card for convenient networking and
 a sufficient memory allowance of 1GB. It is possible to use other models of
 board but they should at least provide these guarantees.

+## Cloning
+
+We provide a pre-made SD-card for Bibliotecha which you can copy onto your own
+SD-card and get moving fast. We currently offer a 32 GB image, meaning, if you
+want to use it, you **must also have a 32 GB SD-card**.  If you would like
+other options, please get in touch.
+
+The process is as follows:
+
+- Download [bibliotecha.img](https://manual.bibliotecha.info/files/bibliotecha.img) (32 GBs, will take some time!)
+- Plug in your own SD-card into your laptop
+- Run `lsblk` and take note of the path available for the card (e.g. `/dev/mmcblk0`)
+- Run `sudo dd bs=4M if=bibliotecha.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 status=progress conv=fsync`
+- Plug your SD-card out and into your Raspberry Pi and turn the Pi on
+
+You should now be able to log into the Pi using SSH or via a screen using the following credentials:
+
+- **username**: pi
+- **password**: bibliotecha
+
+Please change your password by running `sudo raspi-config` and choosing `System Options > Password`.
+
+You can now follow the [post-installation] steps but please note, you will
+**not** be required to configure the Calibre-web installation because it is
+already done!

 ## Manual installation
 
 It is possible to install Bibliotecha manually. This can be useful and fun if
