To boot from the Fedora 16 Live DVD provided in the kit, place the DVD in the PC's
DVD-ROM drive. The Fedora 16 Live Media is for Intel-compatible PCs. The DVD
contains a complete, bootable 32-bit Fedora 16 environment with the proper packages
installed for the TRD demonstration environment. For more details, see
Information, page 2. The PC boots from the DVD-ROM drive and logs into a liveuser
account. This account has kernel development root privileges required to install and
remove device driver modules.
Note:
Users might have to adjust BIOS boot order settings to make sure that the DVD-ROM
drive is the first drive in the boot order. To enter the BIOS menu to set the boot order, press the
DEL or F2 key when the system is powered on. Set the boot order and save the changes. (The
DEL or F2 key is used by most PC systems to enter the BIOS setup. Some PCs might have a
different way to enter the BIOS setup.)
The PC should boot from the DVD-ROM drive. The images in
