Initially, it\nwas developed to boot [NOVA Microhypervisor](http://hypervisor.org/)\n(hence the name), but nowadays is well suited for booting\n[Linux](https://www.kernel.org/) (and perhaps other OSes) too.\n\n## Instalation\n\nThe simplest way to install novaboot is to install `perl` and its\npackages `IO-Stty` and `Expect` and copy the\n[novaboot](novaboot) script somewhere to your $PATH.\n\nYou can also install everything (including man pages) by:\n\n    make install\n\nTo install the optional server part (see below), run:\n\n    make -C server install\n\n## Documentation\n\nNovaboot can be used in variety of setups. Most typical ones are\ndepicted in the figure below.\n\n![Possible novaboot setups](doc/typical-setups.svg?raw=true \"Title\")\n\nThe setups are fully described in the [documentation](./README.pod),\nbut in short: Setup A is for power users, who can configure everything\nthemselves, whereas setup C is useful for students, who just want to\naccess the target device with as little configuration on their side as\npossible.\n\n### Client side\n\n- novaboot [documentation](./README.pod)\n\n### Server-side (optional, needed only by server administrators for setup C)\n\n- [novaboot-shell](server/novaboot-shell.pod)\n- [adduser-novaboot](server/adduser-novaboot.pod)\n\n### Hardware guides\n\n- [Raspberry Pi](./doc/README.rpi.md) (work-in-progress)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fwentasah%2Fnovaboot","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fwentasah%2Fnovaboot","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fwentasah%2Fnovaboot/lists"}
