[b][color=#FF0000][size=medium]CONGRATULATIONS![/size][/color][/b] You
now have PirateBox running! Feel free to play around with any of the
options on PirateBoxManager (Built by me using Matthias's scripts)
Some of these include: Start PirateBox: Starts PirateBox
[color=#FF0000]#When PirateBox is running you cannot join other
networks / connect to the internet#[/color] Stop PirateBox: Stops
PirateBox and allows you to connect to other networks Manage Files:
Opens up a file browser of the Share folder in PirateBox for you to
delete / add things Just Download the Scripts: Requires you to connect
to the internet (not recommended for most users) Config: A sub menu
for quickly changing settings. It also has an option to clear the
share folder ##### Also, now when you run First Setup it copies
shortcuts to start and stop piratebox to the desktop that means that
you can stop and start PirateBox just as easy as 2 clicks! ##### Note:
When you reboot into the USB drive you will have to run First Setup on
PirateBoxManagers' options due to the fact that non of your changes
will persist (This is the nature of LiveCD / USB) Although I am
working on seeing if I can make a persistent version that saves all of
your changes and even files (as long as the drive is large enough)
##### 12 Easy steps is now all it takes to get PirateBox for most
laptop users now B)- A big shout out to Matthias Strubel who is the
reason this got done :)-D And another shout out to the rest of the
PirateBox community who has gotten this to where it is. Who's awesome?
