Boot on your DSL CD.
Check your second drive (probably known as /dev/hdb)
The partition will be /dev/hdb1
Then install on your drive
Notes on doing a Damn Small Linux install
Before you get started remember that you are installing DSL at your own risk. I would still call this install experimental, so back up your data first!
How to install:
1. Create a app. 250-300MB Linux partition with cfdisk or fdisk (e.g. /dev/hdb1)
2. Boot into DSL by using your CD and enter the terminal.
3. Execute "dsl-hdinstall" by typing "sudo -u root dsl-hdinstall" (without the quotes)
and enter the just created partition (e.g. /dev/hdb1)
This will make a ext2 file system and copies the CD contents to it.
A couple of specific changes are made after that (see end of script)
4. Execute "mkliloboot" by typing "sudo -u root mkliloboot" (without the quotes)
Enter the partition that your install is on. This will create an "initrd" with the needed modules and will setup "LILO".
