Converting Xubuntu to Inveneo Linux 3

This method allows you to install Inveneo Linux 3 on any machine. However, you may need to compile your own drivers if you are not using an Inveneo communications/computing station.

=Installing Xubuntu 8.04.1 Desktop=


 * 1) Download an ISO of Xubuntu 8.04.1 Desktop (544.2MB), md5 = ea2e852642ed5dcc722d67e181eb5c89
 * 2) Set your BIOS to boot from CD-ROM
 * 3) Install Xubuntu
 * 4) *Create Partition 1: 5 GB or greater, Primary, Beginning, Use as: ext3, Mount point: '/'
 * 5) *Create Partition 2: 100 MB or greater, Primary, Beginning, Use as: ext3, Mount on: leave blank, which means the partition is not mounted

If you are installing IDL 3 on a computer with a 40GB hard drive and 1GB of memory, Inveneo recommends 10GB for partition 1, 28GB for partition 2 and 2GB for swap. If you are installing IDL 3 on a computer with a 80GB hard drive and 1GB of memory, Inveneo recommends 20GB for partition 1, 58GB for partition 2 and 2GB for swap. As a rule of thumb, swap should be twice the size of the memory.
