HD Install :: DSL on USB enclosed HDD



Aha, so it did work, but not the way you expected?
If so, maybe a reading of the local startup doc thats pops up first under dillo will be helpful.

All installations are the same (variations on frugal installations) with the exception of the option mentioned in my previous post.  Usually the only difference is how its booted.
So you're saying that a USB ZIP install would work completely identical to an HD install with a remade initrd to boot from USB?

The hardware it will be used on has 56MB of RAM and 800MHz processor. The interface will be USB 1.1 as well... so I want to have as much performance as I can possibly get.

I did that, but I still couldn't figure it out. Anyway it says that by default it backs up everything. And when I did manage to open the file, it listed the paths I needed to backup. But it wasn't working.

Also, I don't want the whole OS to load up in memory. I want it to work just like a HD install because I'm sure it would be much more efficient.
I'm saying a frugal installation works the same either way - you haven't stated exactly what your problem is though.
There is no problem. I want to have as much performance as I can with my hardware setup.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the HD install with rewritten initrd would outperform the USB ZIP installation.

Also, can the USB ZIP option use ext3?
