Following is brief description of these files, user may download required files depending upon need of user and speed of internet (for more information visit link: http://osddlinux.osdd.net/down.php). File Size Description ---- ---- ----------- OSDDlinux_full.iso 3.7G OS integrate all packages including third party software OSDDlinux_base.iso 1.9G It contain only infrastructure, packages need to be installed ==How to create LiveDVD== 1.

Using Bootable DVD: Put the OSDDlinux DVD into drive, restart your computer. You should see a welcome screen prompting you to choose your language and giving you the option to install OSDDlinux from the CD/DVD. If computer doesn't read the inserted CD/DVD then you have to change the BIOS settings.This should be as simple as entering the BIOS, enable booting from the CD-ROM drive, and making sure that the CD-ROM is before the hard drive in the boot order. The simple way to enter the BIOS is to press the DELETE Key when the computer is first booted. On some systems it could be a different key, or combination of keys like ESC, F1, F2, F10, F12, Ins or even others. You might have to press and hold, or press multiple times to enter into the BIOS Settings. In the BIOS Settings you change he boot order from the boot order menu by giving first priority to the CD/DVD drive. 2. ==Using USB Stick== The procedure of installing from USB drive is same as the installing from CD/DVD Drive. First of all you have change boot order to boot from USB in the BIOS boot Menu. You can change the boot order preferences in the boot menu by going into the BIOS settings during computer startup by pressing delete key during the startup. After this user can simply plug his/her USB drive to computer and install the OSDDlinux after restarting the computer. 3. ==Full Installation or Dual Boot System== User can install OSDDlinux on there systems by two means either as the sole operating system, or as of a dual-boot setup which allows you to use your current operating system and OSDDlinux on the same system simultaneously. Installation wizard setup steps:- ● If you want to use only OSDDlinux operating system then choose the option to Erase and use the entire disk. ● If you have two disks, choose one of them to install OSDDlinux. ● If you want to install OSDDlinux on a machine already running on some other operating system and you want keep that system on your computer, then choose the option Install them side by side, choosing between them each at startup. 4. ==Using USB Stick== The OSDDlinux can be run only by using Live CD/DVD or USB stick without installing it on your system. How to create Live USB Stick on ubuntu 1. Insert a USB stick with at least 2GB of free space. 2. Search for Startup Disk Creator. 3. Select the Startup Disk Creator to launch the app. 4. Select the downloaded ISO file of the OSDDlinux and click to 'Open'. 5. Select your USB Stick and click 'Make startup disk'. 6. After the process is over you can use this Stick to run OSDDlinux. 5. ==Installing OSSDLinux on VirtualBox== 1. Download the latest version of VirtualBox. Go the VirtualBox website and go to the download section. There are versions available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. 2. Install VirtualBox on your current machine. ==Create A New Virtual Machine== 3. In VirtualBox, click the “New” button to start the virtual machine wizard. 4. Give your virtual machine a name and select the operating system you’ll be running. Click “Next”. For this example, you’ll be installing Ubuntu. #*Type any name in the Name field (such as Ubuntu or Linux). For “Operating System,” choose “Linux.” The version will automatically default to “Ubuntu.” Click “Next” when you’re done. 5. Select the amount of memory your VM will use and click “Next.” When you chose your operating system in the previous step, VirtualBox automatically recommends the proper amount of memory to use. If you feel this amount isn’t correct, you can move the slider or type a new amount in the box. Click “Next” when you’re done. 6. Click “Next” to create a new virtual hard disk, then click “Next” again. This opens a second wizard to create a new virtual hard disk. 7. Select either "Fixed-Size Storage" or "Dynamically Expanding Storage" depending upon your needs. A fixed size storage is going to be the size of the virtual hard disk on the host OS (e.g.: a virtual disk 8 GB will be 8 GB on the host OS's hard disk). A dynamically expanding storage will be only the size of Ubuntu on your hard disk, but will grow in size as files are added to it until it reaches its limit (e.g.: virtual disk is created and has a 1 megabyte file on it. The size of the virtual disk is 1 megabyte. Then, another 1 megabyte file is added. The size of the virtual disk is 2 megabytes. This goes on until it reaches the specified size of the disk). 8. Click “Next” to accept the default name and size of the virtual hard disk. Again, VirtualBox recommends the proper size of your virtual hard disk. If you feel this amount isn’t correct, you can move the slider or type a new amount in the box. Click “Next” when you’re done. 9. Click “Finish” and wait while VirtualBox creates the new virtual hard disk. You will see your new virtual machine in list. OSDDlinux on Virtual Machine 1. Click on the green start button to start the OSDDlinux virtual machine. 2. Browse the OSDDlinux.iso file downloaded on your computer and upload it. 3. Now you will get install options for OSDDlinux as displayed in the figure below #########
