  2. Installation
    1. Overview

      2. Installation is very simple. JAILBAIT is distributed as a disk image, so all you have to do is get it and dump it to the SanDisk.

    2. How do I get it?

      3. You need to get on the 'net, ftp the file.

  3. Configuration
    1. I can't save any files; they are all read-only. What gives?

      2. Most of these steps require you to remount / read-write in order to write to it.

      # mount -o remount,rw /

    2. How do I configure eth0 for my network?

      3. This is straight from the LEM page. You can also just vi these files. Note that the new installation utility will do this for you.

    3. How do I add other users?

      4. You need to edit /etc/passwd and change /home. You will need to un-tar the file

      /etc/var_directory.tar.gz

      and rebuild it in order to change /home
      We are currently working on a more elegant solution.

    4. How do I configure PPP for my ISP?

      5. Look at the PPP howto pages.

  4. Impressing Your Friends (or Stupid i-o Tricks)
    1. Using your JAILBAIT i-o as an x-terminal.

      2. # X -query <XDMHOST>

    2. Listening to sound from a remote x client.

      3. Run esd it in public mode.

      # esd -public
