Back to Tarada Linux (Again)

The plans have been finalized. The installation method for Tarada Linux is going to be via .tar.gz and make. When completed, you will be able to download it on SourceForge. Typing ./configure will generate the necessary Makefile from a template we made. Typing make will build everything and start the installation configuration program. The installer will ask which installation mode you want to use, make sure you want to continue, then, write configuration files. At this point, nothing on your system has been changed, so nothing up until this point has to be done by root. Once the configuration files have been generated, you can install Tarada Linux with sudo make install. This will launch the actual installer, so it needs to be run as root. The installer will copy files and make changes to configuration files on your computer, then ask permission to reboot your computer. Before you begin the installation process, you might want to backup your /etc/apt/sources.list, as the installation process will overwrite that file.
