At the Groovix [http://wiki.groovix.org/index.php?title=Groovix_Installation_Guide#Booting_Groovix boot menu screen], a list of options on installing Groovix is shown.
1. Arrow down to the "Automatic Install with static IP" option
2. Hit F6, then hit the ESC key to dismiss the dialog that pops up
3. Change the definitions for PAC_LABEL= , PAC_SITE= , PAC_TYPE= , etc. as you normally would
4. Also change the ip=eth0,address,255.255.255.0,gateway section to your desired parameters


Arrow down to the "Fully Automatic Install with static IP" option and press press tab if booting in legacy/non-UEFI mode. If booting in UEFI mode hit the "e" key.

NOTE: eth0 is the default first interface on a computer, sometimes it can be called something else like wlan0 for wireless cards. If eth0 doesn't work you can find the device name for your hardware after booting the live cd or doing an installation and going into the network settings tool.


There will be a string of options for configuring the workstation displayed on the bottom of the screen [http://wiki.groovix.org/index.php?title=File:Boot-Menu-3.jpg shown here], highlighted in red. At the end of the line the cursor will be at ''gxlabel='', 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, gxlabel=opac1 or gxlabel=inet-7. Each of the following values needs to be set as [variable]=[value], there should be no spaces after the equal sign (ex. gxsite=MainFloor).

8. Once you can browse web pages in Firefox, choose "Reboot the machine" from the ctrl-alt-g menu so your machine can be configured by the Groovix Network Customization System.

After the reboot your machine will be complete and ready to use.

Note: wifi installs use a completely different configuration method. Instead of ip= you set gx-wifi-static-address, gx-wifi-gateway , gx-wifi-ssid , and optionally gx-wifi-psk for WPA2 passwords to enable wifi support. Currently the wifi setup is hardcoded to the wlan0 interface, if your computer addresses your wireless card as something else please contact Groovix support.

Note: if the workstation has a dynamically assigned IP address (DHCP), follow the instructions on the InstallationDHCP page.

New Groovix installation with a static IP[edit]

Groovix installation menu option for static IP installations

At the Groovix boot menu screen, a list of options on installing Groovix is shown.

Arrow down to the "Fully Automatic Install with static IP" option and press press tab if booting in legacy/non-UEFI mode. If booting in UEFI mode hit the "e" key.

There will be a string 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 gxlabel=, 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, gxlabel=opac1 or gxlabel=inet-7. Each of the following values needs to be set as [variable]=[value], there should be no spaces after the equal sign (ex. gxsite=MainFloor).


Note: only the following variables need to be set, leave all others at their default values.
gxsite=       Location of workstation
gxtype=   Type of system (ex. web, catalog)
gxtype=  Optional additional type setting, defined by customer.
gxlabel=  Name of workstation
ip=         eth0,[IP address],[subnet mask],[gateway]

For example, a typical configuration might look like:
gxsite=main gxtype=web gxlabel=mweb01 ip=eth0,192.168.0.55,255.255.255.0,192.168.0.1
More information about these values and what they do can be found in the link under the See Also section of this page

Note: eth0 is the default first interface on a computer, if your computer has two ethernet ports you may be using the eth1 port. If eth0 doesn't work you can find the device name for your hardware after booting the live cd or doing an installation and going into the network settings tool.

Note: wifi installs use a completely different configuration method. Instead of ip= you set gx-wifi-static-address, gx-wifi-gateway , gx-wifi-ssid , and optionally gx-wifi-psk for WPA2 passwords to enable wifi support. Currently the wifi setup is hardcoded to the wlan0 interface, if your computer addresses your wireless card as something else please contact Groovix support.


When all the information has been set, press [Enter] if booting in legacy/non-UEFI mode. If booting in UEFI mode hit the "F10" key. The Groovix installer will now boot and automatically start the installation process; This process will complete in 10-100 minutes depending on hardware speed.

Once the install is complete, the CD-ROM tray will be ejected, remove the DVD while the system restarts itself and boots into Groovix. 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.
