================================================== This directory contains the DemoLinux 3.0 distribution. We provide various kinds of ISO images: - files ending in -650.iso contains images that fit into a standard 650Mb CD-R - files ending in .iso, but not -650.iso, need 700 Mb CD-R - files ending in .bz2 are iso images compressed with bzip2 Notice that the StarOffice program is not a multilingual binary, so we had to provide distinct images for each language. For example: demolinux-3.0.iso 700Mb image with US StarOffice demolinux-3.0-es.iso 700Mb image with Spanish StarOffice demolinux-3.0-fr.iso 700Mb image with French StarOffice Each iso image is signed, and the signature is available in the corresponding file ending with the .MD5 suffix. SOURCES: -------- Due to space limitations, sources are no longer on the CD image, but in the sources.tar file on the ftp site. COMPLEMENTS: ------------ If you want, you can install DemoLinux 3.0 on a hard disk, by using the simple install tool available on the desktop when you log in as root. In that case, you might want to download the file delta.tar.bz2 containing the files we had to get rid of to make space on the hard disk (documentation, StarOffice galleries and dictionaries, dpkg lists, etc.). After installing, and downloading the delta.tar.bz2 file, change dir to /, then execute bunzip2 -c delta.tar.bz2 | tar xpf - Notice that we only provide the delta.tar.bz2 file for the english 700Mb version. In case you want to modify an installation using dpkg/dselect using the stripped 650Mb image, please also download and unpack the file dpkg-info.tar.bz2 available from the ftp site. N.B.: very few people tested installation, so please try it only if you know what you are doing, or if you have a spare partition around. WARNING: make sure you have at least a 3 Gb partition if you want to install everything (including these extension packages). IMPORTANT: More information on the DemoLinux project can be found at www.demolinux.org. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Howto burn an ISO image ? All the CD-Writing software can use ISO image to burn directly a CD-Rom. Important note: take care to download the ISO in binary mode (FTP). By default Netscape and Internet Explorer download the file in ASCII mode which corrupt the image. Please avoid downloading the ISO with a 56K modem line. If the dowload fails you can use "Resume" which allow you to continue the download. It works with ftp (reget), ncftp, CuteFTP, Getright, ... With Easy CD Creator: -------------------- Open Easy CD Creator Go to "File" then to "Create CD from disc image" make sure to change the bottom drop down menu ("Files of type:") to say "ISO image files" It will do the rest after you browse to the *.iso file (Thanks for zacheyer) With WinOnCD: ------------ you can select a "track-image" project when you click the New button. So long as you are in track mode, not file-system mode (how that looks depends on whether you have 3.0 or 3.5) then dragging a track image file onto the CD window should accept it as a raw track. WinOnCD uses .RAW as its own extension (Thanks Rick Jones) With CD-Record: --------------- CD-Writing HowTo: http://howto.linuxberg.com/ptHOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO For example: cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=4,0 demolinux-3.0.iso You get the number on the SCSI bus number with "cdrecord --scanbus"
