| If you don't want to install development tools, and have access to the |
| Web, you can get ROM images made on demand from http://rom-o-matic.net/ |
| |
| The documentation tarballs should be extracted in the top directory (the |
| one you are reading this INSTALL document from). 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. |
