other drivers. You can add a driver by dragging and dropping it in the
lower window (from a folder off the running system)
Step-by-step: Booting and installing from CD #1
If you want to enable USB support or other features, please refer to at
Appendix D (preboot menu).
Features you select in the preboot menu will not only be used during
the boot process but will also be added to the installation on your
harddisk.
When you have chosen between option 1 or 2 (advanced boot menu),
eComStation will begin to boot. This will take about 2 minutes
(depending on the speed of your CD ROM player). Wait for the desktop
build process to finish. If no desktop appears, but a distorted screen or
a trap screen (a black screen with numbers and letters on it) please
check the following guidelines:
1.
Do you have 64 MB or more then 64 MB of memory in your system?
A minimum of 64 MB memory is required for the new installer to
work.
2. Reboot the machine and select option 2 (advanced boot menu).
Keep pressing the TAB until you reach the option "Legacy VGA",
press the space bar to select this option. When selected press
enter. This way eComStation will use the legacy VGA driver for the
first phase of the installation.
Installation Program
It is important you read the information displayed by the installation
program, especially the introduction to LVM can be very useful. See
also Appendix C: LVM. When you have finished, click on the option
"Install eComStation" and click on the Start Installation
button.
At the screen presented to you, you can select just a few settings.
For the best performance and wide range of video card support, select
"Scitech Display Doctor". This is a video driver that supports many
modern video chipsets. You can further choose to install eComStation
base System and Multimedia. In most cases it is best to install both.
Click on next
to proceed.
Chapter 2: Installation 5
Installation Volume selection
If there is any partiton already present on you system which
eComStation can be installed, it will be listed on this screen. Click on
the button "Manage Volumes" to invoke LVM. When you have finished
using LVM, press F3 to exit LVM and save the results. When you have
chosen the USB option in the advanced bootmenu and start LVM, there
is a possibilty that you get the message that the partition table on
"Physical Disk (x)" is damaged. If you have one HDD installed x will be
number 2. There is nothing wrong, you can ignore the message.
Remember to delete the bootmanager from your hard disk! If you
previously installed the bootmanager from OS/2 Warp 4, please
reinstall the bootmanager using the LVM utility. This is necesarry
since the older versions of bootmanager are not LVM aware.
If you want to install VoiceType (speech recognition) later on, please
make certain that your boot drive is at least 300 MB larger then what is
advised during the installation.
For some possible problems with LVM please refer to appendix C;
LVM and appendix E: Troubleshooting, installation section.
Select to format the partition. Click on the Begin Format
button. After a
succesfull format your system will start to copy files, this will take
somewhere between the 8 to 20 minutes (depending on the speed of
your hard drive, CPU and hard disk). When the copying has finished,
press the reboot
button.
eComStation Installation - Second Phase
After the reboot you will be presented with a screen "eComStation
Installation - Second Phase". Please do not touch the desktop yet, you
will first have to continue with the installation process. You should select
the options from top to bottom.
1) First check your screen resolution. Change the resolution if you want,
the change will take effect on the next reboot.
2) The following selection will let you add a printer. If you have an USB
printer, please wait with the installation of that printer until the
installation is finished.
3) As a third option you can run the IBM "selective install" utility to install
a soundcard.
In NO case should you change the video listed! Just ignore the
setting, even if it is wrong. Nor should you touch the CD ROM options.
