Welcome to the Spinix Operating System Distribution section. In this
section you will find information on the current release of Spinix as well
as information on future versions. Links to obtain the latest as
well as earlier versions can be found here.
Current
Version Information:
Version Number: 0.9
Kernel Version: 2.4.20
XServer: XFree86 4.3.0
Bash Version: 2.05b
GCC Version: 3.3

Other Information: Spinix 0.9 comes with an all
new installer. If your computer can not boot the ISO you will need to
make a bootdisk and a root filesystem disk.
Download and installation instructions of Spinix 0.9
Step 1. Obtain the ISO Image from the link below.
-Spinix
0.9 ISO Image
[filename: spinix-current.iso]
Step 2. Once the ISO has finished downloading. Using
a CD-Writing tool, write the ISO Image to a blank CD-R.
Step 3. Once that is complete download the bootdisk and
root filesystem image files from the links below if your computer does not support booting from cdrom.
-Spinix
Bootdisk Image
[filename: boot.img]
-Spinix
Root Filesystem Image [filename: rootfs.img]
Step 4. Once the download has completed and while in console'cd'
to the directory where the image files are saved, insert a blank floppy
disk and type 'dd if=boot.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k'. Once that has finished
insert another blank floppy disk, only this time type: dd if=rootfs.img
of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k
NOTE:Win users need to get RAWRITE to make the floppy images
Step 5. With the Spinix CD in your CD-ROM, and the
bootdisk in your floppy drive, restart your computer and follow
the instructions. Again, you only need the boot disk if your computer does not support booting from cdrom.
