[Bartek Gorny]

Step-by-step instruction how to start ERP5 from LiveCD and install
latest version of ERP5 and business templates (assumed basic knowledge
of Linux and the terminal).

0. Be aware that the LiveCD requires at least 1GB RAM to run smoothly

1. Get the LiveCD rc3, burn the image

2. Create a directory /erp5cd and give everybody writing rights to it

3. Boot from the CD; you will find your erp5cd directory under
/mnt/storage. Then login as root using password "erp5root"

4. Go to the /var/lib/zope/Products directory and checkout latest
version of ERP5 - you can ust the script given below:

#!/bin/bash
Modules="CMFActivity CMFCategory ERP5 ERP5Catalog ERP5Form ERP5OOo
ERP5SyncMl ERP5Type ZSQLCatalog erp5diff"
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.erp5.org:/cvsroot login
for M in $Modules
do
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.erp5.org:/cvsroot co -P $M
done

5. Restart zope

6. Create a new ERP5 Site, name it whatever u wish

7. Checkout latest versions of business templates (same way as above,
the module is "erp5_bt5")

8. Go to localhost/your_new_erp5_site/portal_templates

9. Install any desired business template the following way:

- click "Import/Export" icon

- select "Download Business Template"

- give it appropriate id and the path where the template is stored
(like file:///mnt/storage/erp5cd/erp5_bt5/erp5_pdm)

- import, then go to the template and do the "install" action
