Brutalware FAQ - English version

Q: I have downloaded Brutalware, how do I install it?

A: There's no need to install Brutalware, it's diskette distribution.
   It runs entirely from floppy disk.

--

Q: Can I use Brutalware with my Windows98 (Redhat Linux, OS/2) ?

A: See previous answer. Enter a floppy, load system, use it, then reboot
   and you have you cool Windows back.

--

Q: I can't boot from the first floppy. I put it into the drive, reboot and
   nothing happens. I have to load MS-DOS in order to get Brutalware
   running.

A: This is desired since many computer labs restrict booting from floppy.
   Disk 1 isn't "bootdisk", it's a "loaddisk". You have to go to MS-DOS
   and load system via LOADLIN utility.
   If you wan't to _boot_ from a floppy, use an alternate disk image located
   in brutalware/images/direct_boot/disk1.img. This is unsupported though.

--

Q: Brutalware loads OK but the network doesn't seem to be working.

A: You gotta have bootp server for your network to be initialized properly.
   If you see "Bootp request timed out" you will be unable to use the
   network unless you set it up manually.

--

Q: Don't have a bootp server, how do I set the network up manually?

A: Since Brutalware 1.1 there is portable network configuration utility
   called "netinit".

--

Q: I'm unable to download Brutalware.

A: If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x, try a different browser, MSIE
   contained a bug that sometimes does these errors. If it doesn't help,
   download only those files needed for the installation:
     brutalware/images/disk1.img
     brutalware/images/disk2.img
     brutalware/images/disk3.img
     brutalware/utils/rawrite.exe
     brutalware/makedisk.bat

--

Q: Is it possible to get modem working under Brutalware?

A: Brutalware itself doesn't contain modem (ppp) support.
   The kernel however supports loadable modules, so if you get the right
   modules and you mount some disk with ppp programs, it could be done.
   (Untested)

Q: Is there a help for those programs that come with Brutalware?

A: Yes, on the net. Find it yourself.

--

Q: Can you send me some nuke/exploit for XXX?

A: No. Fuck off.

--

Q: Brutalware is C00l... btw I can't run it, because I need version for
   Windows 95, is there any?

A: How old are you?
