Hi,
I succed to install on my 2 old laptop DSL 1.4
Laptop without CD-Rom, without netcard.
CDRom drive on DB25 with a boot disk (DOS)
You must to have
- Something to read the CD with boot disk
- Something to partition you hard drive and format it
- Boot disk for DSL 1.4
- DSL CD-Rom
1. Boot on floppy to partition your hard drive
- 1 primary partition FAT with at least 50 to copy your CD-Rom,
This partition have to be active
NB : You can make a partion larger to use it as swap after install
- 1 primary partition for the system (ext2)
- 1 primary partition for home, MyDSL and personnal data (ext2)
2. Format your first partition in FAT
3. Boot from the boot disk to acced to your CD-Rom drive
4. Copy all the data (KNOPPIX and BOOT) to your drive
5. Boot from the DSL boot disk
6. When you have the boot prompt
boot: dsl 2 lang=fr (in my case)
7. Make a link from /cdrom to /mnt/auto/cdrom
8. Launch dsl-hdinstall and follow the processus (say yes to install LILO)
9. Reboot
10. Welcome to DSL
In my case, this work fine.
NB : You can transform the FAT partition in SWAP partition or keep it to install a newer version of DSL next time
Enjoy,
Pouy.
