Hi everyone,

Thanks to the excellent hd-install remaster HOWTO I was able to remaster DSL, but when I try to do a frugal install with my new burned copy to my compact flash card via its IDE adapter, it just prints an L at boot and lights up the floppy drive then hangs indefinitely. I tried to do a frugal install with the stock DSL as well but with the same results. Are there any measures I can take to fix this? I partitioned my 256 MB card with 100 MB for my 80 MB remastered image (wanted to be safe) and the rest for backup / restore and myDSL even though they will be minimally used. Both are formatted ext2. Anyone have any experience dealing with this?

Thanks in advance, this community has been helpful and this is a great little distro.
