Next the procedure to DSL Hard Disk Full Install but also consider do a DSL Hard Disk Frugal Install: Frugal Howto
1- Boot from DSL LiveCD using the boot option "dsl 2" without quotation marks. This will boot DSL in mode text only.
2- Assuming that you are ready to blow away all of your existing data storage on sdc, type:
sudo su
cfdisk /dev/sdc
Create two partitions with this features:
- sdc1 Linux Swap Type 82 Size (at least 128 Mb)
- sdc2 Linux Type 83 Size (the rest of the disk space or at least 2 Gb is recommended)
If your hard disk is really big, try leaving some unpartitioned space for future use.
Your DSL installation will go to partition sdc2. Your DSL swap partition will be sdc1.
3. Next, you will need to reboot your system, again with the DSL LiveCD and "dsl 2" boot option.
4. Type following two commands to enable swap partition:
mkswap /dev/sdc1
swapon /dev/sdc1
5. Type following command to begin the installation:
dsl-hdinstall
And follow the instructions. The dsl-hdinstall script will edit automatically the boot loader option file according to your answers, so you will be able to chose from a menu between boot from Windows or boot from DSL each time that your computer boot.
