New to Raspberry PI

Hello I can not seem to get started with my PI. I have run dd on my Peppermint Linux OS to the SD card, which completed sucessfully. How ever the installl image will not boot on the PI.

I have no idea what to do next. Please help.

Regards.

As far as I can tell, Peppermint Linux runs on x86 (pc-type) processors and not on the ARM processor of the rPi. In simpler terms, you're trying to burn diesel fuel in a gasoline engine ...

If you're just starting out, adafruit has an excellent distro and instructions here .. http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-raspberry-pi-educational-linux-distro/occidentalis-v0-dot-1

They also have a series of tutorials on getting started with the Pi here: http://learn.adafruit.com/category/learn-raspberry-pi
