+ Installing the BDI TNG
+ \layout Standard
+ 
+ (add this section)
+ \layout Section
+ 
+ Running with the BDI Live
+ \layout Standard
+ 
+ BDI Live will boot and run an EMC from the CDROM device if your computer
+  will boot from CD.
+  This mode of operation requires not space on a hard drive and does not
+  alter the installation of any other OS on the computer.
+ \layout Standard
+ 
+ If you wish you may add some directories to the hard drive that will permit
+  you to edit the INI and RUN files and save VAR and TBL values.
+  The addition of these directories to your hard drive do not alter the proper
+  operation of any other OS on that hard drive.
+ \layout Section
+ 
+ Installing the BDI Live
+ \layout Standard
+ 
+ There is an install script under the Morphix menu.
+  This will quickly install an image of the CD on the hard drive and will
+  allow you to add Debian packages to your computer.
+  Doing this will remove another OS from the hard drive unless you add another
+  hard drive and set up a dual boot system.
+ \layout Standard
+ 
+ (add this and include the lilo problems for the early release candidates)
+ \layout Section
+ 
+ Notes on setting up a graphical environment
+ \layout Standard
+ 
+ Linux by itself is a text mode operating system.
+  During the installation of a BDI you can choose to set up a graphical system.
+  This will include X-Windows
+ \begin_inset LatexCommand \index{X-Windows}
+ 
+ \end_inset 
+ 
+  and some sort of window manager.
+  Both the 2.2xx and TNG series have KDE and GNOME window managers.
+  These are complete point and click environments.
+  The Live disk uses a lighter, smaller, less computer intensive window manager,
+  Icewm.
+ \layout Standard
+ 
+ Live will find most any hardware graphic driver and screen and will do that
+  very accurately.
+  2.xx will only find older drivers but can handle many different monitors.
+  The TNG will find most newer graphic drivers and monitors.
+  There are combinations that do not work very well during install.
+  For these you can install in text mode and then configure the graphic display
+  after the install is complete.

+ 
+ You can also type text when the BDI asks if you are ready to install.
+  This will ask the same questions but will do it in text mode rather than
+  full graphical mode.
+  When the install is finished and your computer reboots, it will start in
+  a terminal.
+  Log in as root and issue the command 
+ \begin_inset Quotes eld
+ \end_inset 
+ 
+ setup
+ \begin_inset Quotes erd
+ \end_inset 
+ 
+  and select X Configuration
+ \begin_inset LatexCommand \index{X-Configuration}
+ 
+ \end_inset 
+ 
+ .
+  The steps here will allow you to set the type of display driver and monitor
+  that you have and test the choices until you find a combination that works
+  for you.
+ \layout Standard
+ 
+ We've found that the custom, noninterlaced 1024x768 works for a wide range
+  of monitors.

- Can I print from the BDI linux ?
- \layout Standard
- 
- Yes - But to configure the print driver, you will need two files found on
-  the Programs page.
-  Install control-panel followed by printtool then open up a console window
-  and run printtool (you'll need to be root to do this).
