How can I initiate an HD install if I don't have the GUI menu? I would like to try a frugal install first, then possibly a conventional install.

The command dslinstall will bring up a command line installation menu.

Thanks! That worked, after I partitioned with fdisk and formatted with mkfs.ext2.

(For some reason it didn't work the first time when I let the install routine do the formatting.. it responded "no space left on device").
