The size of the complete NST distribution is over "1.2GB" 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 about "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".
- Update the system to a full NST distribution using "yum install nst-live".
- Finally run the alias: "nstpostinstall" to complete the full installation.
