Editing Installation Guide (section)

== Requirements ==

* A Wii modified to run homebrew apps via BootMii ([https://wii.hacks.guide/ Wii Hacks Guide] will walk you through this process)
* An SD card of at least 2GB (unlike official Wii Software, Wii-Linux doesn't require an SDHC or smaller SD Card)
* USB storage device for the root partition ('''''optional''''')
* Access to a Linux system that can hold your root partition
** GNU tar is '''required''' to properly extract the rootfs.
** We assume this is a physical machine. Virtual machines will require special configuration to pass through the root device, which is beyond the scope of this guide
** Use of Windows Subsystem for Linux or the ChromeOS "Linux development environment" (aka Crostini) is also beyond the scope of this guide.

We also assume you are comfortable with technical tasks like partitioning media and installing packages.
