Some help and instructions on using your TEA5 Box.

Introduction

This distribution was created to allow EDnet sites a means of providing private address space, web caching with URL filtering, and firewall capabilities.

 Using a remote push install, a small computer can be remotely installed with a complete TEA5 solution and plugged in at a site without any knowledge of the underlying computer environement.

 The process involves booting the remote computer with a CD and then filling out an HTML form to define what will be installed. Then this install unique to this computer will be loaded over the network and be completely prepared for deployment.
