Running DamnSmall from HDDForum: HD Install Topic: Running DamnSmall from HDD started by: Renan Posted by Renan on May 09 2004,21:50
heyI want to run Damn Small Linux in a machine without CD-ROM. As I've found, I need to get the /KNOPPIX folder of CD and make a bootdisk. I am already downloading the ISO, which I can open with programs like WinRAR. Questions: - Will my HD be acessible from Damn Small Linux? My HD is format as FAT32 - I have 32 MB RAM. Do I need any swap file? Creating a small partition is no a problem. Thanks Posted by cbagger01 on May 09 2004,23:53
(1) Yes. FAT32 is fully supported by DSL.(2) You should create a small (64MB) swap file or swap partition. A swap partition is a little faster, but a swap file can be created inside an existing partition so no repartitioning is necessary. If you have the free disk space, I would create a larger one at 128MB. Press the "Search" button at the top of this page. Then enter "swap" for a keyword. Then choose "Search ALL FORUMS", "Search FROM THE BEGINNING" and "or NEWER" for more details. Good Luck. |
