You mean the dillo window? If so those are basic instructions for using DSL. take some time and explore DSL in the right click menu you'll find the install to hard drive script that installs to hd. There are 2 ways to install DSL on the drive 1 way is hd, which is like any other computer setup, the other is frugal which is like a copy of the cd on the hard drive.

i have been messing around with dsl and ive installed it before in school but it just doenst make sense to me now for some reason. what ive done is made a win98 book disk formated the hard drive then loaded the live cd and tryed to do the hdd install and the frugal install but when i go threw the yes no question it will just quit after is askes u if u want to format i think and then when i try the frugal it just says that it wont work and then closes the window. do i need 2 make a partition??? if so how im not really sure how to do this anymore.thanks matt_s Posted by sankarv on Aug. 02 2006,09:42
DSL itself has cfdisk which can be used for partitioning.I faced the same problem as you even after partitioning harddisk correctly. Thats because my Harddisk is of SATA type and currently DSL does not have SATA support For that we need to go for DSL-N. See if your hard disk is SATA or anyother. |
