+My directions were a little different from the instructions I found on the net.
+These directions are for the Nexus S hardware.
+
+First install the Android SDK locally and add-on the fastboot command line tool
+(google for it).
+
+Put the phone in bootloader and unlock it (deleting all data). Reboot normally
+and download the signed SuperUser and CyangoGen mod packages. Reboot into
+bootloader and flash the twrp-crespo-2.0.0RC0.img recovery mode image (mirrored
+on my static site). Use recovery mode to install SuperUser from the "Install"
+menu (could skip this step?). Then install the CyanogenMod package the same
+way.

+
+### Motivation
+
+Genode's primary focus seems to be security: reducing the number of "trusted"
+lines of code for certain operations and applications, while allowing large,
+untrusted, complicated applications to run at the same time on the same
+hardware. The other benefit is the potential to maintain guaranteed real-time
+performance while running on modest resources with significantly less
+development effort and testing.
+
+In short, the architecture is appealing for building systems that need to run
+reliably with little or no intervention in a variety of environments, to do so
+efficiently on low-performance hardware, and to still allow complex
+applications to be integrated or built on top.
