66: This is the current list of steps to support LON-CAPA installation. These
67: steps have been tested.</p>
68: <ol>
69: <li>Get LON-CAPA on a CD by
70: <ul>
71: <li>Requesting a LON-CAPA installation CD (c/o Helen Keefe,
72: helen@lon-capa.org).</li>
73: <li>Or, downloading a LON-CAPA installation
74: <a href="http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/currentcdimage">CD image</A> and
75: burning a CD.</li>
76: <li>(Depending on whether your computer has a bootable CD-ROM, you may
77: need to also make a boot floppy. Download this floppy disk image file:
78: <a href=
79: "http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/currentcdsource/images/boot-20000407.img">
80: boot-20000407.img</a>. (Download the image file; insert a blank floppy disk;
81: and type this command: <tt>dd if=boot-20000407.img of=/dev/fd0</tt>).</li>
82: </ul></li>
83: <li>Install with CD-ROM
84: <ul>
85: <li>Follow the <A HREF="instructions_with_cd.html">

87: </ul></li>
88: <li>After installation, restart the computer. Login as root. Enter this
89: command (you only need to do this after your first reboot):
90: <ol>
91: <li><tt>sh /usr/sbin/loncapa_configure</tt></li>
92: </ol></li>
93: </ol>
