The size of the complete NST distribution is well over "1.0GB" and can not fit on CD media. Some systems may not have a DVD drive or support booting from a USB drive. The NST Minimal ISO image was designed to handle this situation allowing one to build out a full NST distribution onto a system which can not boot directly from DVD or a USB drive. The ISO contains all necessary files to perform a NST hard drive install and then run: "yum install nst-live" to build out the full NST distribution.
The NST Minimal ISO should only be used for a NST hard drive install. To complete the full NST installation will require downloading more than "1GB" of additional RPM packages.
Procedure To Complete A Full NST Install From The NST Minimal ISO
- Download the NST Minimal ISO image.
- Burn the NST Minimal ISO image to CD media.
- Boot the NST Minimal Live CD using the "Console" menu entry.
- Install NST Minimal Live to a system hard disk partition using the NST script: "nstliveinst".
- Restart and boot from the hard disk installation.
- Login with user: "root" using password: "nst2003".
- If you are a NST Pro subscriber, you should perform the following steps (to enable the NST Pro yum repositories):
- Run: "nstpasswd" to set the system passwords and enable access to the NST WUI.
- Run: "ifconfig" or "getipaddr --default-address" to determine the IP address of your NST system.
- Connect to the NST WUI and enter the registration code associated with your subscription.
- Update the system to a full NST distribution using: "yum install nst-live".
- Run: "nstpostupdate" to complete the full NST installation.
- Reboot the system.
