Step 3. Enable & Configure the PiTFT

OK now the kernel and helper are installed, all you have to do is run the helper which will configure the kernel device

tree overlays and add the few configurations to make the console show up, etc.

This will install the "2.8 Resistive" type of PiTFT into the current install. This is the same as the 3.2" and 2.4" Resistive

screen too (same resolution, pinout, etc.)

At the end you will be prompted on whether you want the text console to appear on the PiTFT. Answer Y or N

depending on your personal desires!

It's normal for the Pi to pause and/or take a while at this step for many minutes, theres a lot of kernel software

to replace
