+- show how to our planetary network (previous version of mycelium) to get local access, see how our connection is now local from my computer to the node
+- ssh into the node
+
+## what is needed to do this hackathon
+
+- a computer (intel/amd) 
+- a wired network connection which has access to the internet with at least 2 ports available
+- a computer screen and keyboard so we can see the output of the computer installing zero-os
+- best to have a USB network adaptor to connect to the computer we install from (this to be able to test the network and see it works)
+- enough network cables to connect our computer and 3node to the router so we can acces each other
