It
is assumed that the reader has knowledge about Linux and related
tools. Although it is not a requirement, Lisex 0.0 could be installed
together with other operating systems, in particular some Linux
distribution. Considering that Lisex 0.0 is a test prototype, this
would be a reasonable option.
The
following steps must be performed as 'root '.
- Boot
Linux.
- Copy
the Lisex 0.0 file system image given with the distribution, using
bzcat command, to a new partition of at least 12Mb.
For
instance, if the partition is in the device /dev/hda6
and the Lisex 0.0 file system image is in the directory /tmp/lisex/
the command to execute is
bzcat /tmp/lisex/lisexfs0.0.img.bz >/dev/hda6
- Copy
the kernel binaries in the directory where there are other kernel
images. For example, in RedHat distribution the referred directory
is
/boot .
- Install
the Lisex 0.0 kernel binaries in the boot loader.
For
instance, if the boot loader is LILO and the partition
containing the file system image is /dev/hda6 :
- Edit
the file
/etc/lilo.conf
- Add
the following lines at the end of the file:
image=/boot/lisex0.0
label=Lisex 0.0
read-write
root=/dev/hda6
- Execute
the command
lilo .
Another
example of boot loader is grub . In that case:
- Edit
the file
/boot/grub/grub.conf
- Add
the following lines at the end of the file:
title Lisex 0.0
kernel /boot/lisex0.0 rw root=/dev/hda6
- Re-boot
the system.
- In
the boot loader menu, choose Lisex 0.0
