If you are installing to a clean drive, boot up the system and hit the esc key when you see "starting up the system" you will then see another menu click "Install system software", click "local CDROM', click continue. NOTE: If you are installing to a clean drive answer "yes" when it asks make a new file system?
Good Luck

Help! I recently picked up an O2 at a surplus sale. This is an R5000. It boots , but I have neither a root passwd nor OS cd. Its' running 6.5.
If I do the 'esc' thing, there is a command screen, which is operating in single user mode, but it's a small world, and I can't seem to do anything about the root passwd.
How can I get through this to reset or blank out the current root passwd?
Thanx!
