Hello there!
I am thinking about installing GRASS on a PC.
Before I purchase any new hardware or start downloading software,
I would like to ask all of you who have experience with running
GRASS on a PC for input:- What are your recommendations regarding hardware (e.g.
incompatiblities to avoid ...)?
- Where can I obtain LINUX? Any hints for smooth installation?
ftp tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux or you can buy a CDROM
- Can I have a UNIX and a DOS partition on the same PC?
Yes, but you have to have a big hard disk, minimum 500 Mb
- Is there a compiled version of GRASS for LINUX available?
Yes.
I assume LINUX will come with a C-compiler (gcc?)?
Yes
Any suggestions for compiling GRASS modules for LINUX?
Sorry, but I'm a beginner too.
Are there any documents on the Internet that may describe
some of the above? Where can I find them?
On the same ftp servers as the binary programms.
Thank you very much
CheersTom
