= Setting up the host for the NetFPGA = 
Here we provide the links and directions followed to set up a working NetFPGA host. 
== Some useful links ==
 * Directions for setting up a NetFPGA system : http://netfpga.org/netfpgawiki/index.php/Guide
 * Network installation of CentOS : http://www.tonybhimani.com/2007/12/20/centos-51-network-install-instructions/
  * CentOS mirrors : http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/
== Installing CentOS ==
CentOS is the recommended OS for use with NetFPGA. The most current version is 5.3, which is not listed as a version of CentOS that works with NetFPGA. 

For the installation, the net install iso was chosen because of its small size. This can be found on any mirror site.
