Hi, i like to know is there a way to manual copy the DSL-CD content to a native linux partition and then boot/run/install from HD2HD?
Because with dsl-hdinstall i get many cloop: errors... and when it comes to mklilo it freezes...
I had SBM installed maybe i need to fdisk mbr first?
Any thoughts?Yes
Copy the \knoppix\knoppix file over to your FIRST partition as /knoppix/knoppix (make sure that you get the uppercase/lowercase letters correct. In linux, I believe that it is /KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX or /knoppix/knoppix)
Then download the boot floppy image file from the DSL site. Then download rawrite or rawrite32 (search google) and create a new boot floppy disk.
Or if you are using linux, just use the "dd" command, ie:
Open root terminal
dd if=bootfloppy_filename.img of=/dev/fd0
Then use the boot floppy disk to start up DSL and please use this boot command at the prompt:
dsl frugalThank you, rightnow i try to start with the dsl floppy boot -> hd and default. It seems slightly the ram of 16mb and or 90Mhz too low for DSL GUI?
I have a DSL bootdisk here - how should the syslinux.cfg lookalike for the knoppix on hd dir?
And i think i have some problems with the linux partition - does a xfdisk (native linux partition) is ok - getting cloop errors and mount erros with reiserfs erros on install after "INIT 5"? I tried http://ajd344.aj.funpic.org/cool/dlsinstall.html for diffrent ext2 setup but can t boot cdrom and cant find quick a bootdisk for the rescue cd....
Rightnow i reinstall xosl for getting a working SBM to boot the rescue disc and install ext2 partition file system.
Ok booting now Boot System Rescue CD! Crashing while: USING /modules/cloop.o ...1st run it gave a kill command 2nd run freezes...great :-p
And howto copy the cd content to the native linux partition with isolinux shell? http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....;t=1806I think i use dna to wipe all HD data...and start a fresh try to partition ext2....
I used xfdisk to make a dos partition FAT32 and a linux swap(73) and a linux native partition.
Now i try the failsafe DSL boot option ...takes ages to load i just see a blue screen and the cdrom is working.... I burn a new cd mybe the current is CRCed. When it still fizzles i will use netBSD install for makeing ext2 partitions and try the manual copy method...
Then create a swap partition and format it. Reboot and your new swap partition will be automatically detected and you should be able to get into the GUINext Page...
