2.3 Booting the CD-ROM version

To boot ttylinux from CD-ROM, simply burn the downloaded ISO image onto a blank disc. Then reboot your computer with the new disc inserted into your CD-ROM drive. ttylinux should boot up automatically. Note that your computer's BIOS setup may not be set up to allow booting from CD-ROM discs. In that case you need to go into the BIOS setup screen(s) and change that.

If your computer has an old BIOS that does not know how to boot from a CD-ROM device, there is a software called "Smart Boot Manager" that may work for you. It can currently be found at:

Once ttylinux has booted up, you will be see a login prompt. You can use the user name "root" (the administrator account) and password "root" for logging in. Read the rest of this user guide for pointers about what you can do with the system.
