I get the feeling there's something important about partitions that I'm missing, but I don't know what it is.
I'd like to see what the partitions are on your computers and what you have in each one. Seeing a variety of examples will help me understand things better.
Please go into command line, go to cfdisk, and copy-and-paste your partions and post them in your reply. And note what you have in hda1, hda2, etc.

Just do "sudo fdisk -l" -- faster and easier.
If you don't know what you're looking for, how will anyone else? It's pretty straightforward with frugal -- three partitions. You need a swap partition, one for the DSL image, and another for your /home, /opt, and backup.I've been having trouble with installing DSL to my hard drive. I need to make sure that I'm partitioning properly, so I need to see live examples of how it's done.Live examples? In person, video?
This computer isn't frugal, but my normal rule of thumb is 2x RAM for swap, 55MB for DSL image, and however much I can spare for /home + /opt + backup.
What are you doing and what problem are you having?Just a side note: For frugals, I think the persistent opt cheatcode is not recommended in relatively newer versions of DSL (use .uci's instead)Next Page...
