DIRECTORY ORGANIZATION

Momonga Linux is delivered on four CD-ROMs (disc 1 through disc
4) or one DVD-ROM which contains all the files on the CD-ROMs.

Disc 1 can be directly booted into the installation on most modern
systems, and contains the following directory structure (where
/mnt/cdrom is the mount point of the CD-ROM):

/mnt/cdrom
  |----> Momonga
  |        |----> RPMS         -- binary packages
  |        `----> base         -- information on this release of Momonga
  |                               Linux used by the installation process
  |----> images                -- boot and driver disk images
  |----> isolinux              -- files necessary to boot from CD-ROM
  |----> dosutils              -- installation utilities for DOS
  `----> README                -- this file

Discs 2,3 and 4 are similar to disc 1, except that only the Momonga
subdirectory is present.

SRPM files are not included in any of the installation CD-ROMs or DVD.
If you need SRPM files, please download then from our main/mirror
distribtion sites as needed.

If you are setting up an installation tree for NFS, FTP, or HTTP
installations, you need to copy the RELEASE-NOTES files and all files
from the Momonga directory on discs 1-4. On Linux and Unix systems, the
following process will properly configure the /target/directory on
your server (repeat for each disc):

    1) Insert disc
    2) mount /mnt/cdrom
    3) cp -a /mnt/cdrom/Momonga /target/directory
    4) umount /mnt/cdrom

INSTALLING

Many computers can now automatically boot from CD-ROMs. If you have such a
machine (and it is properly configured) you can boot the Momonga Linux 
CD-ROM directly without using any boot diskettes. After booting, 
the Momonga Linux installation program will start, and you will be able to
install your system from the CD-ROM.

If your computer must use a boot diskette to start the Momonga Linux
installation process, you must use one or more image files to create
the necessary diskettes.  You can find the necessary image files in
the images directory.  This directory contains the following image
files:

  - bootdisk.img - primary boot diskette image file

  - drvblock.img - image file containing supplemental block device
                   drivers

  - drvnet.img - image file containing supplemental network drivers

  - pcmciadd.img - PCMCIA driver image file

A diskette created from the the bootdisk.img file is used to boot all
installations, no matter what installation method you select.

In addition, if you are performing anything other than a CD-ROM or
hard disk installation using only IDE/ATAPI devices, you will also
need to create one or more driver diskettes using one or more of the
driver diskette image files.

A diskette created from the drvblock.img file is required when the
system contains any non-IDE mass storage devices (such as SCSI disk
or CD-ROM drives) that are to be used during the installation.

A diskette created from the drvnet.img file is required when a
network-based installation method is to be used.

A diskette created from the pcmciadd.img file is required when
PCMCIA devices (such as a PCMCIA-based CD-ROM drive or network
adapter) are to be used during the installation.

To write any of these image files to a diskette, use either the
rawrite program in the dosutils directory, or 'dd' under any
Linux-like system.  These programs will transfer the contents of the
image file to a diskette.  Once the necessary diskettes have been
created, insert the boot diskette and boot your machine.

Also in the images directory is boot.iso.  This file is an ISO
image that can be used to boot the Momonga Linux installation
program.  It is a handy way to start network-based installations
without having to use multiple diskettes.  To use boot.iso, your
computer must be able to boot from its CD-ROM drive, and its BIOS
settings must be configured to do so.  You must then burn boot.iso
onto a recordable/rewriteable CD-ROM.
