Other Help Topics :: Install to CF card

Hi!
I've tried out DSL now and it's very nice.

I have a CompactFlash to IDE adapter (my 64 mb CF card comes up as primary master (hda)). Is it possible to install DSL to this device and boot it, instead of a cd? Since the cd is only 50 mb.

Sure. Use frugal_instal. It is very cool. Make two partitions, a 55MB partition (hda1) for system and the remainder for your backup (hda2). So, boot from CD, make the partitions, format them, reboot so that you are sure frugal will see them. And away you go.

Hi!

It worked almost.....
Everything looked fine. No error messages.
But when booting from the cf card (hda1) lilo stoped at L
nothing happends after that.

Any ideas?

If i boot from the cd and choose to boot /dev/hda1 it boots perfetcly from the cf card...
maby something is wrong in lilo.conf? (lba32/ scsi emu.?).
How can i change it and update it on the cf card?

Hurray!!!

I googled around and all i had to do was to set the "hard drive" to LARGE.

Now i have a fully operational computer, 100% quiet. No cpu fan, no psu fan, and no harddrive... Ill make a donation first thing in the morning
