It seems to me that there are many ways JOS can be installed. The
installation instructions depend on which model you want.
The basic requirements for the JOS machine itself are '486/66MHz/8MB Ram
(right?).
1. JOS/i386
Etherboot Option: This option also requires a JOS machine and network
server. The JOS machine to have a network interface card (NIC) and boot
media (1.44MB floppy, CD-ROM or hard drive). JOS for a network computer is
installed on a server and downloaded to a JOS machine with Etherboot. Use
Linux to format a diskette and copy a Etherboot boot image to it. Boot your
JOS machine from a floppy. Any network server with BOOTP and TFTP services
will do. I think installation instructions for this are found in the JOS1d
Distribution Binary Edition from Corrado Santoro

GRUB Option: This option does not require a network interface card. JOS for
a personal computer (desktop or laptop) is installed on a Linux partition
(right?) and loaded with GRUB. Where are the instructions for this?
2. JOS/host
The "host" build of JOS runs on Linux. Run the decaf executable (right?)
from the command line. If you compiled jJOS/decaf into a binary executable,
what would I have to do to run it on my Linux box?
