Excellent roundup, Rogue-
I can't leave Frugal alone now.
There may be some persistent directory changes in the wind.
For now, though, I have gnu-utils and dsl-dpkg
in the root directory of the partition I installed to,
(along with my backup)
and an optional directory containing my extensions.
One good thing about it is that if you have a little disaster,
you reboot to a clean system.
Bomb proof.
And yeah, in essence, the iso, along with a boot directory
is sitting on a partition on your hard drive.
You can use Saidins Grub gear from his Doc section to boot it.
Warning- during shellscript install, lilo will run pretty much to the
exclusion of pre- existing operating systems (I think).It will overwrite the
MBR.
There are other threads covering other methods of installation,
essentially copying the KNOPPIX and boot directories on the
CD to the HD, and using Grub as bootloader.
Or if you have another Linux OS on disk which uses Grub,
you can use that.
But for a single O.S machine, you can just use the script in the menu.
It's a really good way to go, rather than HD install, where you can
load extensions you find you're not happy with, and can't get rid of them.
If you do Frugal, use the isolinux DSL, rather than Syslinux version.
