- | Notes: some NAS/network gear let you adjust the MTU (maximum transmission unit) setting to enhance transfer speeds.

+ | * Copy the install.ariadne script to / and execute it: **sh install.ariadne** The script can throw a few warnings, normally these are only for file permissions and can be ignored as you are logged in as root. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * After the script execution you need to compile a new kernel. So type: **cd / | ||
+ | and start compiling with **make** | ||
+ | * This file must be copied to /stand: **cp / | ||
+ | and then be installed into the boot partition: **cd /stand** | ||
+ | * **make bootpart KERNEL=relocunix** | ||
