CREATE PARTITIONS
- To install WifiWay we need two partitions, one for the operative system, and the other for the swap exchange file.
- We run the Shell and we write:
cfdisk- It will appear a window, where we would do the partitions in a very simple way. We will choose the
New option.
- For moving through the options, we will use the right and left key of the keyboard, the up and down keys will be used for choosing the partitions.
- In the next screen we will choose
Primary.
- Now we have to choose size, for one partition of
6gb (this is what I use), we have to choose
5900.00 if your disk has a different size change the value to the correct one, only have in mind that you have to leave
512mb for the
swap partition.
- In the next one, we will answer
Beginning.
- Now, we choose the line that says
Pri/Log Free Space and then
New.
- We accept all until we arrive here, then we choose
Type and we accept it all.
- The result should be this, and we should have to use the option
Write.
- It will ask us confirmation, we write
yes.
- Now we choose
Quit.
- And we write:
fdisk -1- Finally we has format to the partitions that we have created, Sda1 and sda2 should be changed for the names that fdisk -l has given us, and without closing the Shell we write this:
- For the partition ext3 of the operative sistem:
mkfs –t ext3 /dev/sda1- For the partition of the swap exchange:
mkswap /dev/sda2- Reboot and we run again with the LiveCD.

menu.lst file, so we enter to the
root folder pressing the icon that it’s in the desktop and we go to
/mnt/sda1/boot/grub and we search for the
menu.lst file and we open it.

title wifiway 1.x line and we edit it so it puts
title WifiWay 1.0 beta2, this is a change related to the start screen selection aspect.
- We close KWrite and we

- Installation is complete, turn off WifiWay.
- Once we have WifiWay installed in the hard disk, when it starts, it will not be necessary to select our time zone neither the keyboard codification.
- We have to setup the BIOS so it startup from the hard disk and/or extract the CD from the lector and boot the PC.
- Started the PC and in a few seconds after, we should see this.
- After this, where we write
startx.
Note: because of a
bug in the installer, WifiWay will advise us of some
warnings. To fix them it’s very easy, immediately after starting it, we open the
Shell and we write these commands:
rm /usr/var/run/dbus/pidrm /usr/var/run/hald/pid- Now and in an optional way we will override the
Floppy unit.
- In the console that we are running, we write:
kwrite /etc/fstab- The fstab file will open and we search for the line where puts:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat noauto, noatime, users, suid, dev, exec 0 0 # AutoUpdate
- We edit it for leaving it like this:
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat noauto, noatime, users, suid, dev, exec 0 0 # AutoUpdate
