Nuclinux DOS Installation, step by step. 1) Unzip it (with an unzip tool like pkunzip or winzip) 2) If you are running Windows-95, do "shutdown and restart in msdos mode". You have to be in really-DOS mode. Not a DOS session under Windows-95. 3) CD to the directory you pkunzipped it into. 4) "install". (This boots a Linux with prompts to make the diskette.) This is for installing Nuclinux from a DOS/Windows system. If you have problems, boot with no config.sys or autoexec.bat. Note, this creates the *exact same floppy* as the Linux installer. In Nuclinux, do these steps: 1) Log in as root, your initial password is nuc. *********************************** You may then change password in fly (with passwd -command), it will be saved to floppy (/floppy/data/passwd). 2) Check /etc/profile and modify anything you want 3) Add all your network (usually only IP address) settings into /usr/lib/netcfg directory taking example from samples (that are included in netcfg-directory) (after you have collected them), and defaults (especially if you use your floppy only in one network) into 2/usr/lib/netcfg/netdefaults Then, when have booted to nuclinux, you just have to type 'net ' and you'll be connected to the net. If you DON'T specify -parameter, the net script will query you them. If your network card is not supported in Nuclinux, you can quite easily recompile kernel using .config, which is included in toplevel directory (nuclinux-kernelconfig-DATE) (BUT YOU CAN'T COMPILE KERNEL WITHOUT A REAL LINUX DISTRO).
