User Feedback :: Frugal Section for Forum



Could we have a frugal section in the forum like hd install?
Just my own opinion, but apart from the installation i don't think there's really any difference between frugal and liveCD...most issues people might have with one would also apply to the other.
That's a good point.  Once it's working I guess the only difference is possible persistency.  I was kinda just frustrated with getting GRUB to behave.
Drop into IRC sometime and get some live help if you are getting frustrated.

Frugal is really easy with Grub, and with persistancy it's even better than it used to be.

Here's my grub entry for a frugal on hda1 on my toshiba 420cds (on a CF ^_^), with LOTS of stuff disabled/activated/set at boot.

Code Sample
title DSL
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/isolinux/linux24 root=/dev/hda1 quiet vga=788 nomce nousb nopci noagp noacpi nodma noscsi frugal noicons restore=hda2 mydsl=hda2 home=hda2 opt=hda2
initrd /boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz  
makeactive
boot


-J.P.

editus: the kernel line stretches to two lines here, but don't split it. It has to be on a single line.

Hey Saidin,
Yeah, I followed your tutorial in the talk section.  It worked fine for booting into DSL and loading the Grub.dsl pack.  However, when i try "grub-install /dev/hda" I get the following error: "/dev/hda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive."  I use the following APPEND style things in the Grub menu: frugal (not really sure why, you used in your example last post, i get the same error wether or not i include it), opt=hda3 home=hda3 restore=hda3 mydsl=hda3
I have been trying to read the documentation for GRUB but have made no progress in improving anything.

Thanks,
Louis
