0.0.3
First Redox ISO Release
This is a test release to see if the new live disk works correctly on a number of different machines. The correct file to download is livedisk.iso.
Information
- Using a virtual machine like VirtualBox or QEMU is recommended but not required.
- It is recommended to give the VM at least 1024 MB of memory. No disk space is required.
- If you want to install to a USB stick, please use
isohybrid. Future releases will do this automatically. - The display will be set to 1024x768. This is intentional, to avoid errors with mode setting. Selection of the resolution will be available in future releases.
- Use the F1, F2, F3, and F4 keys to select a virtual screen. F1 is the debug console, F2 and F3 are virtual terminals, and F4 is the orbital GUI
- The only supported network cards are the Intel 8254x and RTL8169. The Intel 8254x is available in VirtualBox and in QEMU.
What to Test
- Please try the GUI, and typical Unix commands in the terminal emulator.
- Networking may be available if you have a supported card and are using DHCP. The browser is incomplete and not expected to support most sites.
- Any unexpected behavior should be reported, particularly any crashes or halts.
