!!! VLocity Linux: ISO-file Install Method

ISO-file install method allow you to install 
VLocity Linux using the downloaded ISO-file,
without having to burn it into a CD-ROM.

------------------
!! Your Situation:
* The computer is running a Windows or a Linux OS
* The computer has plenty of harddisk space
* You cannot (or do not want to) burn a CDROM

---------------
!! Windows HOST
You should have Windows running well on the computer.
Go to VLocity Linux FTP site, download the following files:
* the ISO file (e.g: vl-5.0.iso), put it on top level directory (C:\, D:\, etc).
* install/loadlin/loadlin.exe to C:\loadlin
* isolinux/initrd.img to C:\loadlin
* isolinux/kernel/ide to C:\loadlin

Shutdown Windows to DOS mode, then here we go:
<pre>
cd C:\loadlin
loadlin ide initrd=init.lz root=/dev/ram rw
</pre>

--------------
!! Linux HOST
If you have another Linux running well on the computer,
this gonna be a piece of cake:
* Download the VL ISO, put it to $HOME/vinstall
* Download install/vinstall/vinstall-iso, to $HOME/vinstall

Make sure the host is not running X-Window and services
(see the CDROM + Linux host method).
Then here is the cake:
<pre>
## Go to vinstall directory
cd /var/log/setup/vinstall

## Now install using the ISO
./vinstall-iso vl-5.0.iso
</pre>
