The installation will uncompress the kernel, load it and its drivers and start the interactive

From this point on, you should proceed with the screen instructions, as instructed
by your Linux distributor.

“
Firewall: disabled ”. In some distributions, you may have to select the “Change”
option and set the configuration to “manual”. This will disable the Firewall.

Network interfaces - The installation will set your network configuration to DHCP by
default. If you plan to connect to the system immediately after the installation you’ll

After the whole installation has been completed, you will be able login to the system from the
serial console and/or to “ssh” on your V6100 (to create an SSH remote connection to it) and
to continue its post-installation configuring. You can use the boot media you have created in
order to install multiple V6100 stations.
