GET STARTED!

You need just two things to get started with Zenwalk -- an installation disk and the directions at the link to the right.

If you want, you can order an installation disk. Ordering from On-Disk.com helps the Zenwalk team with a financial contribution each time a disk is ordered. The disk runs around $10 and just over half of the price goes to the builders of Zenwalk. An excellent option all around.

However, if you just can't wait, you can burn your own CD. Zenwalk is specifically packaged to fit on a single CD ROM (are these guys awesome or what?). You need a blank CD-R or CD-RW and your computer must have a CD Burner. The data to be burned on the CD is packaged in a file called an ISO. The ISO can be downloaded from the Zenwalk.org download page. Once the ISO file has been downloaded you can burn it to the CD.
Note: For Windows users, I recommend Burn4Free. I have burned every install disk through 3.2 using Burn4Free and it has worked flawlessly. Click "Drive" on the menu bar at the top of the window and select "Burn ISO", then follow the prompts for an easy burn.

Once you have finished burning your CD, follow the "Installing Zenwalk" link in the right hand margin of this page. Follow carefully and you will be up and running in no time!

SPECIAL NOTE: Be absolutely sure you WRITE DOWN your root password when the system prompts you to set it. The "root" account is the master account for your system, so pick a strong password and put it in a safe place!!
