Hello Linux Fans!

I am trying to install DSL 2.2b on a CF card (IDE adaptor).
First I made a CD-ROM form the dedicated image. With success, it is running good. Now I would like to do the next step - CF card installation. I await it should be nearly the same like a HD installation!?!

I copied (like I read in this forum here) the whole folder "Knoppix" onto the CF card (64 MB) with my Win2000 system.

Unfortunately I am now at the end. It can't run - I know - but what can I do to use the CF card as boot medium?

Thanks for your time,
Jens

you have to install it from a running dsl system.

boot dsl and choose frugal install from the menu.

i wouldn't do a traditional hard drive install, but a frugal install. read the forums about the advantages of a frugal install.

The way I do this is as follows:

I prefer lilo for CF type installs. It makes it work more like an appliance, but that's my opinion.
Anyway, place CF and IDE adaptor in a PC as device hda
boot PC from DSL cdrom as follows:

boot: install
