[Trinux-talk] HD Install

[Paul R. <re...@ch...>]

Hello,

I have trinux booting off of a small hda1 partition using syslinux, my trouble comes from it being unable to find items and settings.  I am using the ide version.  

Basically I installed syslinux and then copied the rest of the files off of the floppy image ( that functions great ).  The only difference may be the version of syslinux, the actual cfg file is the same though (trouble?).  

My setup can't find additional packages.  It checks both partitions on my HD, and I have the files in c:\, c:\trinux, c:\trinux\packages and d:\.  Any ideas about the correct dir?  

To make things workable I have to load dhcpcd from floppy and copy the tux dir from the boot partition (hda1) to /etc/.  Then I can use getpkg to grab other needed programs.   

I have also tried using freedos and loadlin, a lot more hassle and the same trouble.  It is frustrating when the floppy method shows me how great the distro can be.  

Does anyone else boot from the HD / store packages on a HD?

Thanks in advance for any help.  

Paul
