HD Install :: backup



Hi. I've done a frugal installation: very fast and very good.
But I've a problem: I can't modify "lilo.conf" file... (obviously as root user...)
System tells me that the filesystem is not writeable...
Also I can't modify writing permissions with "chmod" command...

--> Anyone know how to solve this problem?? <--

Thank's

What program are you using to edit it? I believe in beaver there is an option to toggle readonly under the edit menu. Not sure if this will help or not.

I use VI... by root...
but the main problem is that if I try to use "chmod" for modify access-property (read, write, execute etc...) of lilo.conf file, the system give me "filesystem not writeable" error.

So it's obvious that if i can't modify access-property (read, write, execute etc...) I can't also modify the file....

that's the problem....

to modify lilo.conf with a frugal installation.
Follow theese simple steps:
- make a standard frugal installation (that one with lilo...)
- start DSL
- download extension grub.dsl with mydsl
- download the frugal_grub.sh script from the "download" section of DSL site (download the scripd in the same dir of grub.dsl extension)
- run the rugal_grub.sh script (with the live-CD inserted)

As for a magic..... Grub is installed in 2 minuts!! And your files (old backups, home, etc) are saved thank's to the first frugal installation (the first step I supposed....)

Bye and a BIG thanks to the DSL developers for the great job they do for us!!

...sorry for the double post...
