BEFORE YOU REBOOT
-----------------
 step 1. boot
	to install slothware, boot your computer with any good livecd... 
	knoppix, gentoo, knoppix-std, and others work well..

 step  2. partition and format
	partition your disks, then mount the one you want to have as your root (/)
	use fdisk to partition and then format by:

		# mke2fs -j /dev/hdaX

	where X is the number of your partition that you will be putting Slothware onto

 step 3. extract
	FIRST
	somehow you're going to need to get tha tar.bz2 onto you're system. some suggestions would be 
	to use knoppix or whatever bootable livecd you're using to get on the net and then put it on you're new
	or to copy it from another partition (maybe even a FAT32/NTFS partition, if you want to go through the
	trouble) 

	then cd to it and extract the tarball... like

		 # mkdir /mnt/slothware
		 # mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/slothware.
		 # cd /mnt/slothware
		 # tar -jxvf /path/to/slothware-0.x-tar.bz2

 step 4. adjustments
	IMPORTANT:
	if you ignore the following step INIT will not be able too boot Slothware. 
	next, you're going to want to edit /etc/fstab to point to your partition.  (make sure you edit the file 
	in /mnt/slothware and not the livecd's /etc/fstab :)


 step 7. [optional] build you're kernel
	it's probably a good idea to build you're own kernel because the one i have by default may 
	not be suitable for you're needs (i.e. drivers). to do this you'll want to chroot into you're new
	slothware compile/install it 

		# chroot /mnt/slothware /bin/bash
		# cd /src/linux
		# make mrproper
		# make menuconfig
	then configure the options you'll need...
		# make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install
		# cp System.map arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot	
	NOTE:
	this distribution mounts tmpfs to /tmp and /var/tmp, so it's suggested that you compile your kernels with CONFIG_TMPFS
			
 step 8. configure and run lilo (bootloader)
	if you didn't do the step above chroot into the new install
		
		# chroot /mnt/slothware
	
	and then mount the proc filesystem

		# mount -t proc /proc

	then edit /etc/lilo.conf, don't forget Vi is your friend. and then just run lilo. if you don't get proc
	mounted don't worry, no big deal. also, when you're chrooted into the Slothware install, remember you have
	access to all of the manual pages and other documentation so maybe you'll want to "man lilo.conf" and
	"man lilo" if you need to brush up. or take a peak in /usr/src/linux/Documentation for the step(5) above if you
	did that.

 step 7. reboot 
	if everything went well, you should be able to reboot and finish configuring your system (READ THE /README) 
	remember this document is a work in progress and please report any troubles you run into to 
			guerrilla_thought (a|t) gmx (d|o|t) de

step 8.
	since you're chrooted. changed your root password or you'll be in trouble.
		# passwd root

AFTER YOU REBOOT
---------------

to have the correct time you will want copy the correct timezone data file from /usr/share/zoneinfo/ to /etc/localtime.
currently /etc/localtime is a copy of /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Pacific. 

you will want to add a user so that you're not doing everything as root:

# useradd -g wheel -m yournamehere 


don't forget to set you're hostname... 

# echo "coolhostnamehere" > /etc/HOSTNAME

dhcpcd and pppd/chat availible for networking.

vim (can be invoked by just 'vi') is your text editor and best friend. feel free to use pkgsrc to install you're own choice if you have a problem with that.
