I've followed the instructions both on the FAQ and on various other
sources, but I can't seem to find the 'doinstall' command that is supposed
to come with the SLS package. I'm right when I assume this is very
different from the 'install' command I run when I first boot up linux?
I've got a strange problme, that when I install linux (with the initial
installation function) it sets up fine and I can boot it up and stuff. So,
I mounted my DOS partition and I'm cping the distribution files from the
dos partition to the linux partition and gzipping/untarring them. Well
when I get to disk A3, sometihng strange happens after I untar etc..tar, I
get all these strange mounts listed when I type 'mount' (like /dev/sda8,
proc, and a few others.) So I install all the SLS disks to A4, and I sync
and reboot. I can no longer reboot with my boot disk, and I have to
reiinstall it all again from scrath. (it locks up right after it says
'Partition ok'.
Am I doing somehting wrong?
