SOME WORDS OF CAUTION

Before you start to install wmlive to disk, please be aware of the following
constraints:

  * There is no support whatsoever included for UEFI machines, wmlive was only
    tested on BIOS based computers.

  * If you plan to use an USB stick instead of a DVD-R for installation, don't
    even think trying to create a bootable USB stick from the wmlive ISO image 
    with something like 'unetbootin' or 'Universal-USB-Installer' or any similar
    tool. These tools don't know how to properly handle isobybrid ISO images. 
    They unpack and copy the ISO contents to the USB stick and thus severely
    break their functionality.

    The wmlive ISO images are isohybrid images containing an embedded partition
    table. They requires to be dumped in raw form to the USB stick to work as 
    intended. In Linux you would use one of these commands (the # hash sign 
    represents the shell prompt) to write an ISO to a USB pendrive: 

        # dd if=wmlive_0.95.7-2_amd64.iso of=/dev/sdx
    or
        # cat wmlive_0.95.7-2_i386.iso > /dev/sdx 

    Replace /dev/sdx with the device file name of your actual USB stick.
    This process will completely erase it, there is no way back. So be very
    careful to not overwrite your hard drive! 

    If you still depend on Windows, you can use either the dd mode of the 
    excellent 'rufus' utility from https://rufus.akeo.ie or also WinDD from 
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/windd/.

  * The installation routine does give no choice where to install grub and
    always writes grub to the MBR of the same disk where /boot is located,
    without asking for confirmation. A backup of the original MBR can be
    found after installation at /boot/mbr_backup.img on the booted system.

  * The installation procedure has been limited to offline installation, so
    no network configuration will be performed during the installation stage.
    Network configuration will later be managed exclusively by NetworkManager
    on the running system after successful installation to disk.

If you find any issue, fault, or simply have any idea for improvement,
please don't hesitate to send a mail to 'wmlive@rumbero.org' to share
your thoughts. We need your feedback to widen our own perspective!
