DAB Linux G9 Download

When you click each link you’ll be taken to a File Info page.  You’ll need to supply a valid e-mail address so FileHosting.Org can send you a download link to get the actual file.  The link they send is only good once, so if you need to re-download it you’ll need to request another link from them.  Sorry it’s complicated, but that’s just how they do things.

STEP 1:  Download Part 1:

STEP 3: Some Assembly Required.
The file had to be split, so YOU WILL NEED BOTH FILES! Then use HJ-Split to reassemble them into the ISO file.

STEP 4: BURN
Use your favorite disc burning software to burn the ISO to a DVD

STEP 5: BOOT!
Insert the DVD you made into an Intel-compatible computer and restart it.  If the computer is set to first boot from CD or DVD* you’ll shortly be at the DAB Linux desktop!

NOTE: DAB Linux is set up to automatically log in, so there’s no password to enter on the LiveDVD to use it.  However, if you do any actions that require a password or if you log out and want to log back in, here is the login/password to do so:

Username: guest
Password: guest

If you want to test the image first or run DAB Linux inside another OS, then boot the ISO file in a virtual machine (VirtualBox is recommended.  File may not boot in Qemu).

* Most computers are set to boot from the optical drive before the hard drive because the most popular operating system installers are distributed on CD-ROM or DVD.  However, it is possible a computer may be set to boot  from the hard drive first.  If that’s the case, when you restart the computer you’ll boot into whatever operating system is installed on the internal hard drive, and not to the DAB Linux on the LiveDVD.  Changing this setting would require entering the computer’s BIOS settings and changing the boot order.  Please refer to the documentation for your computer’s motherboard, as there are many different kinds of BIOS software out there it is beyond the scope of this web site to explain how to change the boot order setting.
