SOFTWARE

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* This is a live CD-ROM. You can insert it into your computer and boot
|
|
|
|
from it. MINIX 3 will start automatically and you can log in as root.
|
|
|
|
It does NOT require Windows, Linux, or any other operating system as
|
|
|
|
it is self contained. However, to use it effectively, you must
|
|
|
|
install it on your hard disk. Detailed installation instructions are
|
|
|
|
given on the MINIX 3 website: http://www.minix3.org. Please be sure
|
|
|
|
to read these instructions before attempting to install MINIX 3 as you
|
|
|
|
must partition your hard disk before starting and this subject is
|
|
|
|
discussed on the website. Disk partitioning must be done very
|
|
|
|
carefully to prevent data loss. Please have a printed copy of the
|
|
|
|
installation instructions available while you are doing the installation,
|
|
|
|
as it will be very helpful to you then.

WARNING
|
|
|
|
* MINIX 3 is an operating system and will overwrite all the data in the
|
|
|
|
partition in which it is installed. Be sure to back up all your files
|
|
|
|
before installing it.
