listing of boot optionsForum: HD Install Topic: listing of boot options started by: ninjarico Posted by ninjarico on Feb. 10 2007,18:39
newbie warning(!)OK so I have crammed as much as possible about DSL as I can into my brain over the past 2 days (from just reading no actual hands on experience). I want to setup a CF DSL Frugal install via IDE (using a CF>IDE adapter). I understand that I need to setup two partitions on the CF(hda) which should be hda1 (the actual DSL OS) and hda2 (settings) Now as I understand it frugal will write all my settings to the hda2 upon shutdown thus extending the life of my CF. (please correct me if I am mis informed) I read through the < Frugal Install HowTo PDF > and had a question about the section on "boot options". I saw "toram" in the screenshot and from what I've read this is a good idea on > 128MB ram. (loading all the system files into memory and running it from there). Basically I want to know if there is a place that lists all the boot options and what purpose they serve? If I could set it up to ensure the write life of my CF would be extended I would be sold on DSL! Thanks in advance for any help or links you can offer! Posted by mikshaw on Feb. 10 2007,19:33
There is a list here:< http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Cheat_Codes > I don't think this is a complete list. There are many Knoppix options that may also apply to DSL, although I know that some work only for Knoppix: < http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/Cheat_Codes > Posted by ninjarico on Feb. 10 2007,19:39
