Hello everyone.
I would like to have LinuxICE and Nghost on my car computer but I have never done anything with Linux other than playing a couple games on my brother-in-law's computer. I have downloaded the ISO file for LinuxICE as well as four files from the Nghost site. What else do I need to get these onto my computer? I know that I need to burn the ISO onto a disk, printed the install instructions from the LinuxICE page, I assume that I don't just copy the ISO onto a CD. What do I need to do to "burn" the ISO onto a CD?
I hope you guys don't mind stupid questions but I am really Linux handicapped but don't want M-soft filling up my entire hard drive before I can put any music on it.
Thanks,
Sean

Goblin, I know what an ISO file is. The car computer has no current OS. My Home computer uses XP. I have Nero that is capable of burning a disk from an ISO, I was just unsure if this is all I need to do. I have read several of the threads and see several instances of people talking about compilation and items that sound like they need to be loaded before installation.

OK, I used Nero to burn the ISO to a CD. I put the CD in an old laptop that I have. It was already set to boot from CD. This far in and I have my first error. It says "ISOLINUX 3.11 Debian-2007-03-12 isolinux: Cannot boot from this CD. Please use CD2 or try a BIOS update"
What did I do wrong? Is there something in XP that I can burn an ISO with?
Sean
when do you get that error when you boot with the cd in the drive??
for xp you can use deep burner, it has a free and a paid version and you can burn iso's with it

I will look into this, this computer is probably 10 years old. I will try this and get back to you guys.Originally Posted by ArmyRover
This may be a dumb question but, can I run ICE and NGhost without a touch screen? My laptop doesn't have a USB port for me to plug the touch screen into. I am only setting this up on the laptop to make sure I can get it working. Once I have done it on the laptop and have the carputer fixed then I will load it onto the carputer.

LinuxICE isn't designed to be run without a touchscreen. Plugins for keyboard control or joystick control are not yet complete either.

Bummer. I guess I will just have to wait until I can get a new MoBo for the Carputer.
KEV000 is ICE/Nghost compatible with this board from the store?
"New Intel D201GLY2A Little Valley with 1.33 GHz Celeron Processor (Fan Cooled)"

yep. I'm 90% it will work with it...
