Here is a snippet of modified code that you may want to try with the install script:
I tried the script with your code, but during the TAR command the notebook hangs ...
Damn Damn small Linux!!
Thanks for the expert advice John, but exactly how do you edit the install script with your recommended code? Presumeably within a DSL terminal once it has 'live' booted up and before the hard disk install command . For a complete linux newb it is not obvious. I see in the forum plenty of other people have sucessfully completed hd installs on notebooks as old as mine. It must be something to do with the Dos partition copied ISO boot method I have had to adopt.What script do you need to change ?Ok, here is nobody who want to help so I contacted Peter Sieg and he helped me.
This is what you have to do.
what you have to do is boot normally into dsl. open > > a shell terminal. sudo > > su. cp /usr/sbin/dsl* $HOME > > vi dsl* > > change as the code snipped shows... /search for cp > > -a line...
