Installing Groovix using DHCP
At the Groovix boot menu screen, a list of options on installing Groovix is shown.
Arrow down to the "Fully Automatic Install - REFORMATS ENTIRE DRIVE!" option and press F6. A small pop-up will appear in the lower right-hand corner; press the [ESC] key to dismiss this window.
There will be a list of options for configuring the workstation displayed on the bottom of the screen shown here, highlighted in red. At the end of the line the cursor will be at PAC_LABEL=, type in a workstation name that will assist later in distinguishing each machine. This name must consist of only letters, numbers, underscores or dashes. For example, PAC_LABEL=opac1 or PAC_LABEL=inet-7. Each of the following values needs to be set as [variable]=[value], there should be no spaces after the equal sign (ex. SITE=MainFloor).
Note: only the following variables need to be set, leave all others at their default values.
SITE= Location of workstation
PAC_TYPE= Type of system (ex. web, catalog)
PAC_TYPE2= Custom setting, defined by customer. Can be used to enable a web filter or mark a specific location/branch
PAC_LABEL= Name of workstation
When all the information has been set, press [Enter]. The Groovix installer will now boot into a Graphical User Interface and automatically start the installation process; This process will complete in roughly 30 minutes.
Once the install is complete the system will reboot and the DVD-ROM may be ejected. You may remove the DVD at any point after this. The first time Groovix boots up, it will check for updates, download and install them before you can log into the system.
Once the updates have been downloaded and installed, the machine will boot to the Groovix login screen. Staff can log in using the username gvuser along with the staff password regardless if SIP or guest authentication is being used.
