OLA Live CD
From wiki.openlighting.org
OLA also comes as a bootable image, which can be used with a CD or USB drive to run OLA on almost any machine without modifying the hard drive. This is useful if you just want to test out OLA.

Download
The .iso image can be found on the downloads page
Burn
You can either burn the .iso image on to a cd or use a USB drive. Instructions for creating bootable USB drivers are here: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html
For Mac:
# Locate the usb drive $ diskutil list # umount and copy, change diskN to the number of your disk above. $ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN $ dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/diskN bs=1m # eject $ diskutil eject /dev/diskN
Boot
You'll probably need to select the boot device when you restart. Follow the instructions for your computer's bios to see how to do this.
Networking
The current images use dhcp to configure networking. Wireless isn't supported yet.
Log in
OLA runs as user tux. There is no password.
