Manual Linux installation
Once the Welcome screen with the installation options appears on the screen, just press
<enter> or wait until the countdown timer has reached 0 seconds, to select the default
installation option: “Install or upgrade an existing system”:
After a while the next dialog appears on the screen:
┌──────────────┤ CD Found ├─────────────┐
│ │
│ To begin testing the CD media before │
│ installation press OK. │
│ │
│ Choose Skip to skip the media test │
│ and start the installation. │
│ │
│ ┌────┐ ┌──────┐ │
│ │ OK │ │ Skip │ │
│ └────┘ └──────┘ │
│ │
└───────────────────────────────────────┘
The media check will not work for this DVD configuration, thus select “skip” to skip the
media check. By the way, the installation was already done from the included DVD, thus
the media is fine as long the DVD is still in a good condition.
After a while again, the graphical installation procedure appears on the screen. After
every click on the “next” button, an installation issue can be configured to the user’s
preference. There are only 4 installation issues which have to be taken care of:
1)
Make the swap-space at least twice as large as the installed memory: 1992 MB.
However, if a lot of memory is required, then make it for example 16000 MB.
2)
When the firewall is enabled at least port 69:udp (=tftp) and 20440:udp (=vc)
must be trusted, because some subsystems need to access the computer
system of a217. Further to be able to access interactively at port 22-tcp (=ssh)
has to be trusted as well. When RGS will be used port 42966-tcp must also be
trusted.
3)
Network setting for HUB eth1: = 192.168.2.200, netmask = 255.255.255.0
4)
Install all packages
Further there is no need to create a user account during the installation of Linux.
