I have just tried to install 4.0 to hard disk. Sadly it still can't be done.

I notice that the installers for Ubuntu, PCLinuxOS, Mandriva, Linspire and evenPuppy do not have the problem with the partition table.

Any chance of a patch any time soon?

Reguards,

Those other distros are not 2.4 based.

Point taken.

Too bad, it looks as if DSL on hard disk is not in my future.

Good luck to the project. I'll check once in a while

i got something simular but not quite

i wanted to dual-boot ubuntu and dsl4 after i realized/remembered i had left aprox 250 megs for the purpose...

i popped in the disk ran fdisk -l to double check then ran the install it went perfectly

but i opted not to intstall grub as it was already installed.....

instead i just modified my menu.lst

### START MANUAL LISTINGS

title DSL LINUX
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/linux24
boot

was the 1st thing i tried and it said kernal panic.....

then i looked and realized i forgot the init file so i looked in the partition for the file but it wasnt there

the kernal was there but not the minirt24.gz.....
