I am installing DSL 3.3 from a live CD onto a Pentium III with 512MB of RAM. I am trying to do a HD install.
I went to the Wiki, then to the HDD install section. I followed the directions line by line.
I run the live CE and create the following using cfdisk:
/dev/hda1 at 512MB Type 82 for swap
/dev/hda2 at 39GB Type 83 for the install.
I exit cfdisk and issue the following commands:
sudo -s
mkswap /dev/hda1
swapon /dev/hda1
1. Then it states to follow the instructions at http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/dsl-hd-install.html. It states to reboot into the live CD and from the terminal mode issue the following commands:
Sudo –u root dsl-install /dev/hda2
Sudo –u root mkliloboot /dev/hda2
I get the following error message:
“sudo: dsl-install: command not found”
Ditto for the mkliloboot command.
Q: What am I doing wrong?
2. So then I go into the GUI, and go to Apps>Tools>Install to Hard Drive. I follow all the prompts. I choose hda2, and Lilo. When I reboot using the HD, I end up with:
GRUB>
Instructions on what to do now are not included. So, I poke around and find the following instructions:
GRUB> root (hd0,1)
GRUB> kernel /boot/linux24 root=/dev/hda2 quiet vga=791 noacpi noapm noma noscsi frugal
GRUB> Initrd /boot/minirt24.gz (not working; file not found)
GRUB> Makeactive
GRUB> Boot
These commands are also found at a file called /boot/grub/menu.lst.
Q: How do I execute the menu.lst file from the GRUB line?
