RedStar OS 3.0 - Installing the Beast - Part 1

1 year ago

Today we're going to ruin this old PC by installing an infamous Linux distribution: RedStar OS 3.0!
Why you ask? Curiosity mainly.
Since none of us can read Korean, we used the Google Translate App and it's live translate feature. Aside from a few changes here and there, the installation greatly resembles installing macOS.

We are not connecting it to any network for security as we don't know what nasty surprises lurk in this machine now. We don't recommend you do try on your own either, especially if you care about your data. You have been warned.

We're also not providing any links to find the ISO image. Exercise your Google-Fu young grasshopper.

We borrowed RichardG's guide for installation and configuration.
