Re: [Trinux-talk] Data 1 and Data 2 floppies

Jason,

If you don't have a version of UNIX (Solaris, *BSD, Linux, whatever)
you'll click on trinux.bat (within Windows) and it should automatically
create all three disks using rawrite, prompting you for floppies.  In
other words you will run the install script within your native OS, not
trinux.

Regarding the sensei[x] message, do you have a compaq?  I get the same
kernel messages on the two older compaqs I use for testing and I disk
ignore them and everything seems to work ok.  

Basically the boot disk contains the DOS bootloader (syslinux) and initial
root ramdisk (initrd.gz) the Linux kernel (bzImage) and some necessary
initial packages (basenet.tgz and pkg.tgz) that are required for minimal
functionality.  Data disks are simply DOS floppies that contain the
compressed package files for the various security tools: nmap, tcpdump,
etc. that can be found at http://trinux.sourceforge.net/pkg/  Disk 2
contains some of the larger (500k+) packages such as Ethereal and OpenSSH.
