Booting Groovix
To prepare a workstation for Groovix installation, start by inserting the DVD labeled "Groovix Public Access Computing Install DVD" into the DVD-ROM tray on your machine and power it on. Depending on your machine and its boot settings, it may be necessary to manually prompt your workstation to boot from the DVD-ROM drive; to do this, press the key indicated to enter setup or boot menu of your workstation's BIOS. BIOS information is usually displayed at the bottom of the screen immediately after the computer is powered on.
If you have the option, choose boot menu, this will display all the devices that the workstation can boot from; choose DVD-ROM. If the only option available is enter setup, find the option to configure the boot order or boot priority and change the DVD-ROM drive to be first in the list.
Once you have successfully booted from the Groovix DVD you will see a menu [FIG. 1] with a list of options for booting Groovix.
Use the up and down arrows on your keyboard to select one of the options, if you do not hit any keys with 60 seconds the computer will begin booting normally from the hard drive.
