or download the tuxtrans essentials CD image file tuxtrans-essentials.iso
(687 MB, right-click and 'save as ...'), check it with the md5 sum. As this smaller CD contains only a subpart of the applications available in the DVD it is not supported and all texts in this website refer to the larger DVD collection.
create a bootable medium:
burn the ISO file to a DVD (tuxtrans) or CD (tuxtrans-essentials): on a windows pc use e.g. burnatonce (3,8 MB), download and install, insert a blank DVD/CD, then File | Load new image go to the iso file you downloaded, and click on the button Write
On a GNU/linux pc use K3B, brasero or gnomebaker to burn the ISO image to the disk.
create a bootable USB stick with unetbootin.
Prepare a USB stick (min. 2 GB for the DVD image or 1 GB for the CD image) and format it with the FAT or EXT2 file system. Download unetbootin from sourceforge.net, run it and choose an image file as your linux distribution (see here), go the local tuxtrans.iso you downloaded and confirm. Unetbootin will copy all the files you need to your USB Stick.
insert the DVD/CD or the USB stick and restart your pc.
some systems require you to press a special key immediately after startup to enter the boot selection menu where you can choose to boot from USB or from cdrom; others simply boot from available drives according to the priority list in the BIOS.
the start page will show you the startup procedure in detail.
The tuxtrans system has only one user who also has administrative rights (root):
name: user, password: user01
You may add new users at will during the installation procedure or after a local install. To install the whole system onto your hardware simply follow this guide.
