- 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?,

- - creating a Linux-partition before starting "setup"
- - about lilo

- 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...
