From: dlw1@cec1.wustl.edu (David Lee Williams) Subject: SLS Installation Question Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1992 15:27:57 GMT
Hello,
I'm new to Linux and I would like to say THANKS to all who have contributed
to it. I have not yet run it, other than booting my machine to see if it
works (surprise! it does), but from what I have seen and heard so far, I
can't wait to get it up and running.
That brings me to my question. After following c.o.l. for several weeks and
after searching the network to find all that I needed, I came accross SLS.
This is wonderful; everything I need all in one place. Anyway, I
downloaded all of the disks (1 and 2 on 5 1/4" because my boot drive is 5 1/4,
and 3-15 on 3 1/2" because it was convenient). I began the installation, and
came to the following problem:
After booting with disks 1 and 2 and running fdisk and mkfs,
this tells the installation script to install to partition 2
of the hard drive (which is what I want). The problem is that,
since I booted on the 5 1/4" drive, the installation script
expects me to install from there.
Is there any way to tell the installation script to install to /dev/hda2
5 1/4 ?
(Please forgive me, I have been developing for Unix and X for a while,
but I do not do any sysadmin)
Thanks in advance.
