 1. perform a clean github checkout of hzdr/thinstation:
 
   ```
-  > git clone https://github.com/hzdr/thinstation.git thinstation-hzdr
+  git clone https://github.com/hzdr/thinstation.git thinstation-hzdr
   ```
 
 2. prepare the setup chroot environment:
 
    ```
-   > cd thinstation-hzdr
-   > sudo ./setup-chroot
+   cd thinstation-hzdr
+   sudo ./setup-chroot
    ```
 
 3. put proper `id_rsa` and `id_rsa.pub` file in ts/5.1 directory:
 
    ```
-   > cp id_rsa ts/5.1
-   > cp id_rsa.pub ts/5.1
+   cp id_rsa ts/5.1
+   cp id_rsa.pub ts/5.1
    ```
 
 4. run the build and automatically install the pxe images (make sure `/tftpboot` exists):
 
    ```
-   > ./mkhzdr
+   ./mkhzdr
    ```
