Lucretia Installation Notes

Map

Authour: Tony Seles

Date: July 21, 2004

Here is how a Windows Linux Multimedia-editing computer came to be at the PERC, the instructions for how the software was installed there.

First, hardware (i.e. the Lucretia computer, containing a preinstalled Windows 9x with Redhat Linux software selection) were volunteered for this project and was placed on a desktop at the PERC.

Next, Krishna upgraded the Windows software, gave it network accessability, and Tony installed a distribution of Medialinux as well, giving Linux network accessability as well (using network numbers provided by Krishna, and the Medialinux / Knoppix script used to perform an installation to hard-disk). All expertise for this was previously known to the people involved (and this requires a backgroung in Windows and GNU / Linux). Krishna took more time than (Tony) expected to configure the graphic card drivers for Windows.

Next, Tony installed Calvin's software copy of Pinnacle for Calvin's own personal use, and installed Cinelerra on Linux for everyone else to learn how to use. Tony took more time than expected to learn how to install and use Cinelerra for Linux. (The documentaion for Cinelerra provides the clearest directions).

Originally, Cinelerra and further instructions were located via Internet, using Google. It was deemed to be the most useful (feature-wise) and functional (usability-wise) of various alternatives found after Tony surfed the Web initially.

They were  very  lightly  tested...  so  report  any  regressions.
