 Download a copy of the image [http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~yoder/Beagle/ here].  You'll see several files here.  You want to download '''ETC2012.img.bz2''' and '''ETC2012.img.bz2.md5'''.  The first is some 1.5G, so it will take a while.  The second is a check sum file for the first.
 Once you have the two files and the card, what you do with them depends on what OS you are running.
