The target network parameters can be changed in U-Boot using the "setenv" command. You can see the IP address of the target by issuing this command:

#ifconfig eth0

Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 12:34:56:78:9A:BC

inet addr:192.168.42.10 Bcast:192.168.42.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

RX packets:3453 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:62 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000

RX bytes:399740 (390.3 KiB) TX bytes:6726 (6.5 KiB) Interrupt:24 Base address:0xc000

In this example, the target device has been given an IP address of 192.168.42.10. You can test the proper functioning of the network by doing a ping to your host machine (Ctrl+C to stop).

#ping 192.168.42.1

Installing LxNETES

An installation script on the CD will do the installation automatically. However, there are some things the script cannot do such as setting up your DHCP or NFS server.

To install LxNETES, you must mount the CD. Enter the following:

$ mount /media/cdrom
