Installation:

  Requires USB flash drive (or other disk) of size 8GB or larger formatted FAT32.

  NOTE: Some tools included in Katana get flagged as "hacker tools" by many
  Anti-Virus programs. Make sure to turn off all virus scanner before install.

  1. Copy the katana-v3.0-beta-1.zip and katana-v3.0-beta-2.zip files to the local
  disk.

  2. Extract the content of the Katana ZIP files onto the USB flash drive;
  example "E:\" for Windows OR "/mount/sdb1" for Linux. Make sure NOT to create a
  subdirectory when extracting the ZIPs content.  Extract all files into the root
  of the flash drive. If prompted, use the "write into" option to copy
  files into already existing directories. Katana is broken into 2 files because
  of its size. Extract both files to the directory in the same manner. There are
  many files, so this may take some time.  When done, you should see about a dozen
  files in the root of the flash drive.

  3. Change directory to the freshly copied "boot" directory on the USB device.
  (Make sure you're in the "boot" directory on the USB device and NOT your local
  disk! )

  4. Run the following with Administrative privileges. For Linux/OSX run
  ./boostinst.sh, for Windows run ./boostinst.bat

  5. Make sure the computer BIOS allows USB boot. Boot from flash drive. All Done! .
