Ah it said to run the script as "./frugal_lite.sh" in the readme.

But then noticed above you've got "sh frugal_lite.sh"

Now the script will run!

Once I corrected whatever the silly mistake I made in the code :laugh:

Will post later on how I get on.

[EDIT]Huzzah! redownloaded the script changed the two lines (maybe mod the script so its user entry for the protocol and url?) and the script worked. Now got the laptop booted poomans style. Will have a go at a frugal install and see if I can get on with the backup (filetools.lst) milarky![/EDIT]

Thanks Roberts!

Not sure if I've got the right end of the frugal install script here.

Followed your lite script, (hopefully) with the 'current' of DSL on hda1 and it installed to hda2. Rebooted fine, although it says booting from hda2? So when I try to run the full frugal script it says it cant find a partition /dev/hda (even though hda2 is mounted apparently as a cdrom equiv)/

Have I missed smoething foolishly?

you could try

chown root:root filename.sh
chmod 755 filename.sh
./filename.sh

WEll finally managed to get it to work after a few hours!

Seems got DSL image created in (hda1) from frugal_lite script.

Booted toram, DSL found the image

Then ran full frugal install, did a 'web' install form my monkey webserver (grabbing iso), then got it put the iso onto hda1 (running in ram so had no sharing violations).

Setup backup partition as hda2, which will contain all my other files.

Now it boots off the HDD!

Just need to get head round this filetool.lst/backup stuff :;):

If I install a bunch of mydsls, do i need to keep the packages in a specific folder on hda2?

Will I have to 'restore' everytime I boot?
