3.1 Installing from CD-ROM

WARNING: Running the installer can easily destroy all operating systems, and anything else, currently present on the target machine. Proceed with caution and backup all important data before installing ttylinux. Really.

To install ttylinux onto disk from the bootable CD-ROM, you first need to burn the ttylinux CD-ROM ISO image onto a blank CD-ROM disc and boot into it as described in the previous section 2.3.

Once logged in as the "root" user, you can start the installation. You need to know three things to run the installer: what your CD-ROM device is, which disk partition you want to install ttylinux and where you want to put the boot loader.

If you don't know the answers to those three questions after reading the following instructions, the safe bet would be not to proceed with installation; the ttylinux installer is not yet automated or user-friendly enough for you.
