- B. Installing Corel Linux
- -------------------------
- Corel Linux ver 1.0 must be installed from a CDROM. If you
- downloaded the Corel LINUX Open Circulation ISO disc image,
- you must burn it to a CD to be able to install it.
-
- The Corel LINUX CD is bootable. If your computer supports
- bootable CD's, put the CD in the drive, and restart the
- system to begin Corel Install Express. Check the
- documentation for your system to see if your computer's BIOS
- supports this feature. If your computer can not boot from
- CD, you need to start Corel Install Express from a boot
- floppy. If you have Corel LINUX Standard or Deluxe, a boot
- floppy is provided in the box. If you downloaded Corel
- LINUX or received it from a different source, you need to
- make a boot floppy diskette. See the following instructions
- on Creating a Boot Diskette.
-
-
- C. Creating a Boot Diskette
- ---------------------------
- Corel Linux does not support booting from 5.25" floppy
- diskettes so you must have a 3.5" floppy drive as your A:
- drive.
-
- Creating a boot floppy diskette from Windows
- 1. Insert the Corel Linux CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
- 2. The Corel Linux Autorun should start. If it does not
- start automatically, double click "My Computer" on
- your desktop or in Windows Explorer and click on the
- CD-ROM drive. Double click Autorun.exe.
- 3. On the splash screen, click the Next button.
- 4. Select Floppy diskette and click the Next button.
- 5. Click the Create Floppy button.
- 6. Insert a formatted floppy disk into the floppy drive
- and click OK.
- 7. The Boot floppy creation process is finished when the
- dialog disappears.
- 8. Close all Windows applications and click the Restart
- button to reboot your machine from the new boot
- floppy.
-
- Note: if the boot floppy creation process fails,
- format the floppy first in Windows Explorer.
-
- Creating a boot floppy diskette on a Linux machine
- 1. Login as root.
- 2. Mount your CD-ROM by typing the following at a
- command prompt:
- mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
- 3. Insert a blank floppy diskette into the floppy drive.
- 4. Type: dd if=/mnt/cdrom/boot/boot1440.img of=/dev/fd0
- and press enter.
-
-
- D. How to access a rescue disc
- ------------------------------
- If you are having difficulties with your system and you are
- a knowledgeable Linux user, you can use the Corel LINUX CD
- as a rescue disk.
- 1. Place the CD in the CDROM drive (and the boot
- diskette if necessary).
- 2. Reboot your system.
- 3. When the first splash screen appears, press and hold
- the Shift key for about a second, then let go.
- 4. Select Rescue Console and press Enter.
-
-
- E. Configuring Sound in Corel Linux Deluxe Version
- --------------------------------------------------
- After you install Corel LINUX, you can configure the 4Front
- Technologies OSS sound drivers.
- Click Application Starter, Applications, Multimedia, OSS
- Configuration and follow the directions in the OSS
- Configuration utility.
-
-
- F. Configuring Sound in Corel LINUX Standard Version
- ----------------------------------------------------
- After you install Corel LINUX, you can configure the
- standard sound drivers.
- 1. Click Application Starter, Run.
- 2. Enable Run in terminal window.
- 3. Type sndconfig and click OK.
- 4. Follow the directions provided by the sndconfig
- utility.
- 5. If your sound card is an ISA bus card, you need to
- shut down and reboot your system.
-
-
- G. Configuring Sound in Corel LINUX Open Circulation Version
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- Follow the directions for the Corel LINUX Standard version.
-
-
- H. Manually Editing the hosts File
- ----------------------------------
- You can manually edit the hosts file (/etc/hosts) to include
- host names and the corresponding machine IP addresses. This
- allows a system, connected to a network that does not have a
- DNS server, to resolve host names to the appropriate IP
- address.
-
- However, modifying the TCP/IP settings in the Network TCP/IP
- configuration panel in the Control Center comments out or
- removes any manually entered host names. If you need to
- modify the TCP/IP settings, make a copy of the original host
- file so that you can copy the entries into the new file that
- is created after you use the TCP/IP configuration in the
- Control Center.
-
-
- I. Image Viewer and Screen Grab not included
- --------------------------------------------
- The Corel LINUX User Guide discusses two applications which
- are not included with Corel LINUX: Image Viewer and Screen
- Grab. Use Corel Update to check the Corel LINUX FTP site to
- install these applications.
