| | #REDIRECT [[Installation]] |
| | |
| The following is meant to be an absolute newbie guide
| |
| | |
| * Burn the Alpine ISO image to a CD
| |
| * Put the CD into the new computer and turn on the power.
| |
| * Wait for the text '''login:''' to appear, type '''root''' and press enter.
| |
| * Run the '''setup-alpine''' script
| |
| ** Choose your keyboard, as an example, I chose '''US'''
| |
| ** Host name, which will be the name of your computer, you can just press enter if you want to use the default
| |
| ** Choose your network card, most people can just go with the default (press enter)
| |
| *** Most people will use DHCP, so press enter again, or you can enter in your static IP address
| |
| ** Type in your root password
| |
| ** Choose a time zone, I chose '''NZ''' for New Zealand
| |
| ** Press enter to choose the fastest mirror
| |
| *** Press enter again once a mirror has been chosen
| |
| ** Choose a disk you want to install Alpine onto, if you only have one hard drive, then press enter
| |
| *** Now choose how you would like to use it, for this guide, choose '''sys''', this will install the entire OS onto your hard drive
| |
| *** You are given a final chance to back out, type in '''Y''' to continue
| |
| * The installation is now complete and your be asked to reboot. Type in '''reboot''' and press enter
| |
| Take out the CD, and your computer should boot into Alpine using your hard drive.
