Sounds like you are better helped by getting in touch with those who provided you that box and wrote that user guide. This mailinglist is not a support forum but list about developing a Debian-based box. We use wiki pages below http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox for our documentation and have not written a user documentation yet. Don't get me wrong - I do not mean to push you away: You are more than welcome to engage here, and you need not be experienced Debian geek. Just want you to not make wrong expectations of this place as being a support forum for user oriented stuff provided by others. Regards, - Jonas P.S. Perhaps your box is a DreamPlug which you receieved from the FreedomBox Foundation.
