| Quote (piccolo @ April 15 2006,13:23) | I assume that you will install DSL and no data of interest stored in the hard disk.
You need format hard disk using a utility called: "cfdisk".
The hard disk is called "hda", so you will create two partitions called: "hda1", "hda2", respectly.
Procedure:
1. Open up an xterminal window (Click on Aterminal icon on desktop) and type:
sudo su
cfdisk /dev/hda
With cfdisk you must create the two partitions with following features:
- hda1 Linux Swap Type 82 Size (at least 128mb)
- hda2 Linux Type 83 Size the rest of the disk space or at least 2gb.
3. Reboot your system, again with the DSL livecd
4. Again open up an xterminal window and type:
sudo su
mkswap /dev/hda1
swapon /dev/hda1
dsl-hdinstall
The last line will execute the same install script that you saw before when did: apps > tools > hdd install
Follow the instructions...
....
When it ask you where DSL should be installed, the answer is: hda2
....
When it ask you if Lilo o Grub, not worry, choose any. Anyway the configuration will be automatic
....
5) Shutdown DSL, extract DSL livecd and boot again:
It will ask you a "user password" and "root password" that you must create.
The "user name" by defect is: dsl |
FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive
Press any key to exit cfdisk
