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 instal-
|
|
lation instructions are given in the SETUP.PDF file. To read this file, you need
|
|
the Adobe Acrobat Reader, available for free at http://www.adobe.com/acrobat.
|
|
The SETUP.PS file contains the same content in PostScript. Please be sure to
|
|
read one of these files before attempting to install MINIX 3 as you must
|
|
partition your hard disk before starting and this subject is discussed in the
|
|
SETUP files. Disk partitioning must be done very carefully to prevent data loss.
|
|
These SETUP files are also available on the MINIX 3 Website:
|
|
http://www.minix3.org/doc. Please have a printed copy of the SETUP file 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.
