You should try out the zImage first. It will give you hand on immediately.

If you have extra PC to run Linux, you can install Fedora Core 5 .

Otherswise, you can install colinux on your windows xp.

look at the wiki,

1. in quartus, open the project DE2_System/DE2_demonstrations/DE2_NET/

tool->programmer , program the sof to your board.

2. use web brower to download the zImage_de2_net file to a dir, eg, c:/temp

http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operating.../zimage_de2_net (http://nioswiki.jot.com/wikihome/operatingsystems/%c2%b5clinux/tryoutuclinux/zimage_de2_net)

3. from Windows Start-->Programs-->Altera-->Nios II 6.0 -->Nios II Command Shell

4. in nios2 command shell, cd to that dir,

cd /cygdrive/c/temp

nios2-download -g zImage_de2_net

5. then

nios2-terminal
