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. 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.
