At the moment, only installation from a harddisk
|
|
is supported. All commands are shown to you on
|
|
the screen before executing. This is just to make
|
|
sure that nothing bad is done to your harddisk :-)
|
|
|
|
You can also select to install from a premounted dir.
|
|
Then the "tar/base" directory must be mounted on
|
|
"/install", so that all tar-packages from the basic
|
|
stuff are in "/install/*.tgz". (So you could be able
|
|
to install via NFS...)
|
|
|
|
Good luck...,
|
|
anyone wants to help programming this tool?,

What does "setup" do on my computer?
|
|
====================================
|
|
Setup will ask you for a partition on your harddisk,
|
|
where you would like to have Linux installed.
|
|
You can then choose to install this distribution from
|
|
your local harddisk or via network (NFS).
|
|
setup will install a very basic system.
|
|
At the end, you can install lilo, the Linux Loader.
|
|
Rebooting your computer with this little linux system
|
|
and then runing the setup-program on it, will give
|
|
the possibility to install more packages.
|
|
|
|
Creating a Linux-partition:
|
|
===========================
|
|
To install this Linux distribution, you need to
|
|
create an extra partition on your harddisk for
|
|
Linux.
|
|
|
|
What is lilo and how should I install it?
|
|
=========================================
|
|
Read the lilo-documentation for this...
