Hello list, After my PC with the firewall has now a big failure, I have now got for this purpose a PC in a very small case (Mini ITX). In this case I can only bulid in a floppy and a harddisk ( or a slim-line CD, which I don't have) . A normal CD-Rom is not possible to build in, instead I had connected it outside the case to reconfigure my firewall. As far I can see, the DEVIL-LINUX woks now very good. Is there a possibilty to install DL to the harddisk, or copy the CD-Image to the harddisk, and start instead the Firewall from the harddisk ? best regards Heribert |

You can install DL on an hard drive or also a cf-ide disk (a compact flash ide-compatible drive) using the install-on-usb command which comes with DL. It not only allows you to install on a usb flash drive but also on a normal hard drive or a cf-ide drive. When doing so you will only need to have a cd-drive connected for the time of the installation, then you can disconnect it, DL will boot off the hard drive. the script is /sbin/install-on-usb The script will offer to install to /dev/sda , which is the default name of the usb pendrive device, however you can chose to install to /dev/hda and it will install on the primary master hard drive. (or a cf-ide drive connected to the primary master). Hope it helps! Michele |
