LiveCD install question

Post by kz5rt2 »

Hello,
I've recently had a break in and was referred to this application.

Is the application as simple as installing a liveCD? Do I need to install a Linux OS first? I guess I'm not too sure about the sequence.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If this is one of R.D. Melin's then just boot the CD, click on the install icon on the taskbar and configure your monitors; very painless and mostly preconfigured. The only setting I ever change is the shared memory settings.

Okay, thank you very much!

All I need is the liveCD? Do I need to have the LinuxOS as well? Or just simply install this on an existing windows OS, i.e. windows2k?

Thanks for the help!

The OS will load from the CD (along with partition and hard drive formating). No additional software is needed to get a basic functioning machine.
