A top directory called +doc will be populated. This way the links from index.html will work +properly. + +More likely if you are unfamiliar with Etherboot you should read the +documentation starting with index.html if you have a Web browser, or +doc/text/userman.txt (after installing the documentation tarball) if you +just have a plain text terminal. + +Also read RELNOTES for any additional recent information. + +Don't forget to check out the contrib/ directory which contains much +contributed software and documentation. Please contact the authors of +those packages directly for queries. + +If you are booting FreeBSD, enable -DELF_IMAGE (and optionally +-DAOUT_IMAGE) in Config. This should happen automatically now. + +The index.html file is the same as the one on the Etherboot home page at +the time the distribution was made. Therefore some of the local file:/ +links from the Distribution section may not work. + +Etherboot was built using gcc 3.3.3 and binutils 2.15.91 from SuSE 9.2 but +earlier 3.x versions will generally work. |
