Installing the Proxy on a Desktop Computer

We need to install the proxy on a desktop computer for the reason it has to handle sufficient amount of traffic and data to handle.
We need to modify two files to get the display on the monitor:

1)We need to check the HDD of the computer whether its IDE or Serial IDE.
2)We need to get a USB adapter for this HDD so that we are able to install the Proxy using USB. 3)Installion of the proxy is carried out in usual way.

To view the content on the monitor 2 things need to be done

The disk partitions are mounted as :

/dev/sd*1 --- Boot Partition
/dev/sd*2 --- Main Partition
/dev/sd*3 --- Swap Partition
/dev/sd*4 --- Var Directory

Now to locate their mouting locations :

$ mount
We need to modify 2 files to obtain display on the monitor :

In the boot directory

/boot/grub/menu.lst
In this comment the first line which is "serial --unit=0 --speed=19200 ........"

In the later part of this file in the kernel lines remove the sections which say
"console......."

These are used for displaying the output on the terminal.

In the main partition

/etc/inittab

In this file scroll down and in the section beginning with

"Format :"

Comment the line which ends with "tty0 ansi" , it is the serial terminal.

Uncomment rest of all the lines in the section.
