Installing
Example of installing FiwixOS 3.3 on a hard disk by booting from the Installation CD-ROM (using QEMU):
qemu-img create hd.img 1G qemu-system-i386 \ -drive file=hd.img,format=raw,cache=writeback,index=0 \ -drive file=FiwixOS-3.3-i386.iso,media=cdrom,index=2 \ -net none \ -boot d \ -enable-kvm \ -machine pc \ -cpu 486
Either on a virtual machine or in real hardware, let the system boot and when you are ready just type:
install.sh
If you plan to install FiwixOS 3.3 on a very old hardware (i386 or i486), you might want to use the floppy disk as a boot media in case the BIOS is not able to boot from CD-ROM.
WARNING: the kernel and the software included might contain (un)known bugs and vulnerabilities.USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
There is an archive of old FiwixOS versions here.
