>6.2. How does it work?</H1
|
|
><P
|
|
>First of all, set up your machine's BIOS in order to make it boot from
|
|
CD. Check your motherboard's manual to see how to set up this. Upon
|
|
booting up you will receive a prompt to boot PlumpOS using a specific
|
|
kernel; several ones have been provided for you but, you also have the
|
|
option of providing your own kernel + modules. This will be explained
|
|
later in the ``Getting Started'' section. The boot menu should tell
|
|
you all the kernels available for you to use; simply type the name of
|
|
one (and optionally some kernel arguments) and press return/enter.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>At boot-time, PlumpOS will auto-probe for network cards and, if any
|
|
gets detected, it'll try and configure them via DHCP. If successful,
|
|
it will fire up omdiscd on each interface a DHCP lease is received
|
|
on. Currently this has only been tested in PCs with 1 network card so
|
|
YMMV.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>It works for myself, but may not work for you; if you experience
|
|
difficulties, please email me with as much information about your
|
|
system as possible -- after you have investigated the problem. (Check
|
|
the sourceforge homepage for PlumpOS's mailing list, sign up and post
|
|
your question with as much detailed information as possible. The
|
|
openMosix-general and openMosix-devel lists are NOT for PlumpOS
|
|
problems, they are for openMosix-specific problems, and if you can't
|
|
tell the difference just send it to the PlumpOS list or my contact
|
|
email).</P
