This one is really easy. Use any CD burner software/program to burn it to disk. Change BIOS to boot from CD. There is VMWare image for Whitix also. You can get it form here. Whitix can also be run in the processor emulator Bochs.

Installing Whitix from CD Image (.iso)

• RedHat/Fedora Users

If you are using cdrecord as a CD burner (RedHat/Fedora) then you simply have to give command "# cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=2,0 cd.iso". Here speed is the write speed, dev is the device number (your machine it will be different) please check the man page for cdrecord.

• SUSE Users

SUSE users does not have cdrecord but have wodim. "# wodim -v speed=4 dev=/dev/hdc cd.iso" where /dev/hdc is the device name of your burner does the trick here.

Installing Whitix from Source (.tar.gz)

Nasm & Binutils (GNU toolchain) is needed to build Whitix. Make sure you have them. After downloading Whitix ...

• Untar and uncompress it.

1. tar -xvzf <image.tar.gz>

• Compile it.

1. make (Enter make help for a list of different build targets.)

This will give you "cd.iso". This is your live CD image. There is also "bochsrc.txt", this the the Bochs script. If you have Bochs installed in system directory you can simply launch Whitix by typing "bochs" at the current patch. Happy Hacking !!!

Once you've download the CD image (.iso), use a CD burner program to burn it to disk (select the 'CD Image' or .ISO option).
