Please note that selections made in the "Boot Options Menu" will be

used to configure the installation which will be created on your

harddrive.

Navigating the eComstation Boot Options Menu

The controls you use to change the various settings on the screen are

the arrow keys, the «Tab» key, and the «Spacebar». Once you have

configured the devices, you can use the «Enter» key to continue the

boot. Here is a brief description of each of these controls:

«Tab»: or «Right-Arrow»: Use either of these keys to move to the

next field.

! «Shift+Tab» or «Left-Arrow»: Use either of these keys to move

to the previous field.

! «Spacebar», «Up-Arrow», and «Down-Arrow»: Use these keys to

modify the value of the currently selected field. Fields that use a

checkmark to select whether a particular option is on or off can be

toggled by using the space bar. When there are several options that

are available in a field, you can scroll through them using the «Left»

and «Right» arrows.

! Use the «Enter» key to continue booting once you have configured

the setup to your satisfaction.

The Configuration Options Available

Miscellaneous settings

There are three groups of options in this area of the screen. The first

allows you to configure the International options of eComStation, such

as which keyboardlayout you are using, which codepage you are using

and which country you are in. The second set of options allows you to

select which drive you would like to use for your swap partition, if any,

and where you would like the system initialization files to be stored. The

main reason for being able to modify these settings is to make sure your

system can succesfully boot from CD. If you have more than one CD

device in your computer for example, you should change the eCS CD

Drive, User init file and System init file settings all to read T: (if you put

the eCS boot CD in the second drive). Please experiment with these

settings when you get an error 'cannot operate harddrive'

during the CD bootprocess.

International Settings

Appendix D: Preboot Menu 49

There are three options in the International Settings section of the

Miscellaneous area of the screen. They are as follows:

! Country Code: This option lets you select the number that

represents your country of origin. There is a list available of all

countries and their country codes in the online documentation. If you

don't know your country code, select the default, and look up your

country code after you have reached the desktop by typing "help

country" at an eCS command prompt. Most of the time, the country

code is the same three digit number as the one used for your country

in the international phone system.

! Keyboard: This option lets you select which keyboard layout you will

be using. If you do not know the code of the keyboard you are using,

then boot the system and type 'help keyb' at an eCS command

prompt, and click on the 'layout' link in the command reference.

You will see a complete list of all the keyboard layouts available to

the system.

! Codepage: You can use this option to select which codepage you

wish the system to use. If you are not sure which codepage you

would like to use, select the default and then type 'help codepage'

at an eCS command prompt to see a complete list of all the

codepages that are on the system.

System Configuration

The following options allow you to customise the operation of

eComStation as a system while it is booted from CD.

! Ram drive: this is the driveletter that will be assigned to the RAM

drive from which the CD will boot the eComStation

Install/Maintenance system. Obviouslym this letter should not already

be assigned in your computer, that is why the default value is the

letter Z:

! Swap file drive: This setting controls which drive the swap file will be

stored on. It defaults to the RAM disk created by the system when it

boots up, so as to avoid the extremely unlikely possibility of

damaging any existing system on the hard disk. However, if you wish,

you can point the system to a disk on the hard drive. This is

especially useful on computers with 64 MB RAM or less. Note: You

need to have your harddisk LVM enabled to use this feature.

! Reserve drive: This controls some of the drive letter assignments

eComStation will use when booted from the CD. The default is to use

the RESERVEDRIVELETTER setting to force the CD-ROM to drive

R: and to use drive Z: as the ramdisk for certain parts of the system.
