Hello folks.

Just downloaded and burned the 3.0.1 version of DSL. Went an cfdisk-ed my laptop's hard drive, setting up 3 partitions: 500MB for frugal, 5Gig for /home and /opt, and 400MB+ for swap. I've been following the frugal install PDF file, and things were going OK.

However, when I get to the point where I have to type "/usr/sbin/furgal_instal.sh" I'm getting a "no such file or directoy" error. Am I doing something wrong? Am I using the wrong guide?

Thanks for your help.

Do a directory list in /usr/sbin

ls -a /usr/sbin

I am not on my machine but I think they left out an L

Not too sure if you typed it in correctly... (or if it was just in the forums)

"/usr/sbin/furgal_instal.sh"

should be

frugal_instal.sh

Afaik its included in $PATH so you won't need to specify the exact dir.
And yea, I think it was missing an "l"...

And that guide should be fine to use.

Did the ls -a /usr/sbin and found out that the guide was indeed missing an "l" in its command.

I'm an idiot for not guessing that in the first place! :laugh:

I feel a bit sheepish.

Thanks for the help.

I think (originally) the file _was_ missing an "l".. and the pdf docs were not updated since.
