Other Help Topics :: image for a cf card



If you saw:
"You must reboot to continue the final stage of the hard drive install."

Then you ran the wrong type of install for a compact flash device.

Doing a normal hard drive install to flash devices will drasticaly shorten the life of the device.
Yep I guess I did. I dont remember seeing anything that said CF device in the dsl menu oh well.

I was wondering if you wanted the details on dslinstall  hanging on my system when I had the SATA drives connected. Its not a bug, just something that has yet to be implemented maybe? I can give you more details if you like. Thanks again for all the help. I will be asking more questions I am sure. Oh and I was wondering if the people who hang in IRC are connected with dsl and john etc...last time i was there it seemed like a rather harsh place. just my 2 cents worth which is why i was so happy when I got such a fast response to my question here.

Peace
When booting from liveCD at the first boot prompt type only install this will bring up the menu that I had previously mentioned.

Regards SATA hanging, maybe try booting with noscsi
Not sure, I don't have access to sata to know.

For sata support try dsl-n

I tirned the SATA drive off and it booted up no problem, turn the SATA HD on and it hangs at the point it is trying to probe it, hdfx in my case.

As for the install from the live cd, I did get to the point in the gui where it was just some text asking what you wanted to do and iirc #5 was the frugal install for the cf card, maybe #6 hehe. I tried it and had the same issue as b4 but who knows, its working well now. :)

Ok just about have the setttings figured out ...now to find someone to hold my hand while trying to get my wlan to be recognized. Can't I just copy the inf file for the device into a folder on the dsl machine so it looks for it at detection?

Is ther a step by step for dummies? as in ...

1. go to bla directory and then create a dir called /wlan0. put file here or whatever?

edit: I will try the dsl-n install tomorrow, we have storms here. thanks again.
