Groovix Installation Guide
Booting Groovix
To prepare a workstation for Groovix installation, start by inserting the DVD labeled "Groovix Public Access Computing Install DVD" into the DVD-ROM tray on your machine and power it on. Depending on your machine and its boot settings, it may be necessary to manually prompt your workstation to boot from the DVD-ROM drive; to do this, press the key indicated to enter setup or boot menu of your workstation's BIOS. BIOS information is usually displayed at the bottom of the screen immediately after the computer is powered on.
If you have the option, choose boot menu, this will display all the devices that the workstation can boot from; choose DVD-ROM. If the only option available is enter setup, find the option to configure the boot order or boot priority and change the DVD-ROM drive to be first in the list and exit the BIOS saving your changes.
Once you have successfully booted the Groovix DVD, you will see a menu with a list of options for booting Groovix similar to the one pictured below.
Use the up and down arrows on your keyboard to select one of the options, if you do not hit any keys with 60 seconds, the computer will begin booting normally from the hard drive.
Installing Groovix
Static IP
- InstallationStaticIP for installing Groovix with an assigned or static IP address
Dynamic IP (DHCP)
- InstallationDHCP for installing Groovix without an assigned or static IP address
If unsure whether a workstation uses a static or dynamic IP address, please contact a system administrator before continuing; Groovix may not be immediately available as a result.
