Friends

All of you know that from the E-Courts Project almost Every Judicial Officer got the HP Laptop along with the Redhat Enterprise Linux 5/5.2 DVD and HP CD and Manual one E-Courts DVD

So, What are they

The first one is Operating System for your Laptop

the next one is HP Manual and

the E-Court DVD is the Customization of Operating System special for the E-Courts Project

members i.e Judicial Officer.

When you got the problem with the Laptop you have to do some simple steps i.e

Take that DVD of Redhat Enterprise Linux

Boot from the DVD if not set that option in the BIOS setup (dont concentrate on this point because

default is this option)

When It boots from the DVD it will show the options

in that one for the fresh installation you have to enter

> redhat-install [ENTER] if you want to reinstall the existing or repair already installed skip to next

if you want to repair or restore just issue the following command

> redhat-recover [ENTER]

simply relax and sit back it will ejects the dvd after the completion and reboots

now it will ask for the E-Courts DVD then put that one into the DVD ROM and press enter

if it is saying again and again

just use the following command

Press the ESC button

now it will ask for the username and password

username: root password: redhat

now enter the following command at prompt

> mount /dev/hda /mnt [ENTER]

then use

> cd /mnt [ENTER]

> ./autorun.sh [ENTER]

Now it will copy all the files and configures the operating system i.e customizes
So after that it will reboots the system
and it is ready
