Fermi Linux Super Duper Install/Rescue CD Version 9.0.1 July 8, 2003

Installation of Fermi Linux

This cd image was designed to install Fermi Linux at Fermi Lab via NFS.  
Just boot the cd and either press return or wait for the timeout of the boot
loader.  You will be presented with a network configuration screen.  Fill 
out the info for the system you have just booted.  Note that installing via
NFS only works on-site at Fermi Lab.  If you need to install Fermi Linux 
off-site you will need to install via cdrom.  Cdrom iso images can be obtained
from ftp://linux.fnal.gov/linux/iso/901/ .  If you need help installing 
Fermi Linux please send mail to linux-users@fnal.gov .  RedHat DOES NOT 
SUPPORT this release.
