Prerequisites

Start the workshop

This workshop is intended to be executed in combination with an Linux image delivered on an USB flash drive especially prepared for this workshop. To run this image (and the workshop) please follow these steps:

In case you didn't receive a bootable USB with the above system, you can grab an image under the following URL: http://files.terrestris.de/momo-master.tar.gz. This file is roughly 2.2 GB big, and once it is decompressed it will have a size of 16GB.

  1. Connect the provided USB flash drive to your computer and turn on the computer.
  2. Normally you should see the Linux Mint boot screen similar to the image below after only a few seconds.
Linux Mint bootscreen.

Note: If your computer isn't booting Linux Mint, please ensure your PC is able and correctly configured to boot from an USB device. To do so, access your BIOS by pressing DEL or F2 during the early boot process (usually you will see the correct key displayed on-screen during the boot process). Press the required key at the correct time and your computer's BIOS will appear. Once you're in the BIOS, try to find a menu called something like Boot or similar. Navigate to this menu and look for some sort of an entry called Boot Option Priorities or similar. Usually you will find the boot order as a priority list in which you can move the USB device boot option up to the top of this list. Now save your changes and exit the BIOS to restart your computer.

Congratulations! Now you are ready to start the workshop! :smiley:
