Hi Ali,

Are Israel's brief instructions here enough to test these pre-alpha iso
files of ToriOS? - I think so, at least together with the two emails
referred below.

I think it is enough at this early stage, because it is very
straight-forward to download and test them

1 - the iso file made with Jörn's scripts

2 - the iso file made with 9w.

I have tested them in a few different computers (with and without
virtualisation).

I also refer to my emails dated

2014-05-30 14:14 and
2014-05-30 21:31

Before you start writing some kind of manual for these iso files, please
try them yourself (I'm pretty sure both versions will work for you) and
re-consider what kind of instructions are necessary. I think we should
improve the product itself at this stage

- add some software packages
- make it look like ToriOS

Best regards
Nio
