+        This guide was written to avoid as many installation pitfalls as is possible to anticipate or predict.  With that in mind, please adhere to this guide without deviating in any significant way.  Specifically, that means DO NOT preconfigure wireless networking (that will be covered later - after OMV is installed), or use raspi-config prior to the installation of OMV.  Once the OMV installation is complete, and after backing the OS' SD-card → <a href="https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv7:utilities_maint_backup#cloning_flash_media" target="_blank">Cloning Flash Media</a>, additional configuration or experimentation will be possible without losing the install, if something goes awry.
