Hi all,
I managed to do a poor man's install on my 1998 fujitsu b110 lifebook with a cdrom connected through an even older argosy pcmciacard not recognised by the dsl bootfloppy. I wiped off win2000 (in NTFS) by a low level format, installed dos6.22, did an fdisk on c: and finally found the argosy pcmciacard driver so I could copy the Knoppix-file to the hdu.
Booting from floppy DSL found the Knoppix-file on /dev/hda1 and (after some experimenting with the vga-settings) the b110 was running DSL!
Now I like to 'transfrom' the machine into a real DSL-box (no need for dual boot). But what to do?
Running sudo cfdisk tells me I have a 3253 MB HDU om /dev/hda consisting of:
hda1, boot flag, primary partition, FAT16 fs, no name, 2146,96 MB,
and,
primary/log partition, free space fs, 1106,51 MB
Activating Apps/tools/Hard Drive Install tells me to enter the target partition (e.g. hda2).
I assume I first have to create this partition, but where?
In hda1?
In the free space?
With a size of?
And shouldn't there be a swap-partition as well?
All help and advice is appreciated!
