|
|
|
|
<p>Getting the <a href="/cryptobox?action=doc&page=CryptoBox&weblang=en">CryptoBox</a> started doesn't take much: </p>
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
|
<li><p>You need an old Computer (at least 100MHz, 48MB RAM) (rule of thumb: bought at least after 1996). This PC needs a network card, a CD-ROM drive and a huge harddisk. </p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p> Well the disk doesn't need to be huge, it should just suit your filestorage needs <img src="/cryptobox-img/smile4.png" alt=";)" height="15" width="15"> </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p> You don't need a monitor or a keyboard to use your <a href="/cryptobox?action=doc&page=CryptoBox&weblang=en">CryptoBox</a> (with one exception, see below). </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p> Of course, you may use a faster computer, but they usually consume much more energy and do not provide signifcant advantages. </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p>Then download the latest version of the <a href="/cryptobox?action=doc&page=CryptoBox&weblang=en">CryptoBox</a> as an iso-image and burn this image onto a CD. </p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p> <a href="http://codecoop.org/projects/cryptobox/">http://codecoop.org/projects/cryptobox/</a> </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p>Configure your PC, so it can boot from the CD. Therefore you have to enter the BIOS and configure the CD-ROM as boot device. </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p>Insert the shiny new <a href="/cryptobox?action=doc&page=CryptoBox&weblang=en">CryptoBox</a> CD you've just burned and start the computer. </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>If it now boots from the CD, you accomplished all of the requirements. </p>
|
|
<p>Now you can just go to your current desktop computer and point your browser to <a href="https://192.168.0.23">https://192.168.0.23</a> where the <a href="/cryptobox?action=doc&page=CryptoBox&weblang=en">CryptoBox</a> interface should be displayed. Easy - isn't it? </p>
|
|
<p>For further steps go to <a href="/cryptobox?action=doc&page=CryptoBoxUserConfiguration&weblang=en">CryptoBoxUserConfiguration/en</a>. </p>

|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p> Maybe you need to change the network address (IP) of your PC to configure the <a href="/cryptobox?action=doc&page=CryptoBox&weblang=en">CryptoBox</a> for the first time. Ask someone for help, if you don't know how and why ... </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p> If you're going to buy a new harddisk keep in mind that very old hardware can't handle actual disksizes! </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p> Some old PCs are not able to boot from CD. </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p> If you don't know what a BIOS is, better ask someone, before you try to change something. <img src="/cryptobox-img/smile4.png" alt=";)" height="15" width="15"> </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p> Don't forget to connect your PC to your local area network! </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p> To configure the BIOS, you need a keyboard and a monitor. But this has to be done only once. </p>
|
|
</li>
