I have been trying to load DSL onto a Dell latitude CPI. I must use a floppy which gets me to the boot prompt. I have the 3.2 Syslinux iso in the CD. I then let it boot with no changes. When it does it shows many errors of not finding files. It then gets to the prompt: dsl@tty1[dsl]$. I then went into sudo -s to run cfdisk to create 2 partisions hda1 (82) and hda2 (bootable) (83). Then rebooted. When it gets back to the same dsl.... prompt I again sudo -s then run dsl-hdinstall, it ask for the partition (hda2), multiuser (n) and ext3 filesystem (n) followed by continue (y). It then immediately fails with the following errors:
/usr/sbin/dsl-hdinstall: line 88: /tmp/hdinst.tmp.616: no such file or directory
An error occurred while creating the filesystem.
Some messages from mkfs:
/tail: /tmp/hdinst.tmp.616: No such file or directory
tail: no files
it then returns to the root@box prompt. I have redownloaded the iso, check md5, burned the cd with infra recorder. Anyone have any suggestions...
