User Feedback :: DSL and SolarPC



anyone got a million bucks? you could resell for more on ebay and to john for the store.
Ok, so I got one of these things.  But I can't seem to find a way to install DSL onto a CF card, because I can't boot from CD-ROM or floppy on this thing.  Can I just make a CF image somewhere else?  All the HOWTOs seem to presuppose booting first.  Help?
I use a cf-2-ide adapter..

Plug it into any PC box as hda1,
and use the cdrom to bootup the DSL LiveCD..

Partition and format your CF card, just like it was hda1.

Then use the menu option " install frugal ",
select hda1 as your drive, and let it do it's thing.

Then, after the process is finished,
put the CF back into your miniPC..

The adapters are cheap, and are really handy-to-have..

Ok, I have another machine booted, I made two partitions on hde1 (128MB + 128MB swap), but when you say "the menu option" ... which menu are you talking about?  I don't see a menu anywhere :)

In DSL , from the desktop, when you right click, you get a menu
of options..   Apt>Tools>Install frugal
