hi,i got problem when Frugal install to CF. i use a cf2ide convertor to connect a 64MB cf to the ide. i use the following commands to creat a ext2 partition: sudo su fdisk /dev/hdc n ........... w and i format the cf using : mke2fs /dev/hdc1 i verified hdc1 is ok by mounting it sucessfully(a green light). but when i clicked the app>tool>Frugal install and entered the dest: hdc1, the Frugal install go off immediately, as nothing happened. the same thing happened to a hard drive (hdd1) too. any idea what's wrong? thx.

One thing I can think of is, that you must unmount the CF before you run the script, that goes for the hard drive also.
