Hi there, I am looking for a painless way of installing the latest
kitchen-sink version of quantian.
I have managed to get down the 2+gig iso image. But I don't have a dvd
drive on the box but only a CD-RW drive.
So I have read this document
http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian/howto_hdinstall.html
which gives one way of installing using a floppy drive.
If I have to use only the cd-rw would the steps simply be to change
section-7 of the document?
sample lilo.conf file for booting "k.s.Q."
-----------------------
boot = /dev/fd0
install = boot.b
map = map
vga=791
lba32
delay=20
prompt
timeout=150
append="hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi
hdg=scsi hdh=scsi apm=power-off nomce"
default=Quantian
image=/mnt/hda3/what/boot/isolinux/linux24
label=Quantian
initrd=/mnt/hda3/what/boot/isolinux/minirt24.gz
read-only
root = /dev/hda3
Don't forget to run /sbin/lilo -C /mnt/floppy/lilo.conf !!!
--------------
Supposing my cd-rw is hdc then would I simply have to change the boot to,
boot=/dev/hdc1
Appreciate your help and pointers
Thanks
Kris
