[Leaf-user] Bering on HD ??
I've read that it's possible to install Bering on CD. Could someone tell me the procedure for installing Bering on Hard Disk ?? Thanks in advance Ruggero ___ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
Re: [Leaf-user] Bering on HD ??
That seems to be the simplest since all data (modules/packages and boot files) are then in the same media. Reading http://leaf.sourceforge.net/pub/doc/howto/LRPHardDiskHOWTO.txt should help. But anyway, the idea of the Bering and other distributons is to use low cost pc with small size systems. Maybe I'm wrong :) Rissone Ruggero wrote: I've read that it's possible to install Bering on CD. Could someone tell me the procedure for installing Bering on Hard Disk ??

Aanhalen Przemyslaw Rudy [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I don't think bering has builtin support for ide so booting might be a problem. Unless /boot/lib/modules can help. But if I am not mistaken that won't allow you to put lrp packages on that disk since those modules are loaded after unpacking the lrp packages. Could be just mumbling here though. Jacques any insight here? Could we use modules to boot from HDD? Kim That seems to be the simplest since all data (modules/packages and boot files) are then in the same media.

Hi, Aanhalen Przemyslaw Rudy [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I don't think bering has builtin support for ide so booting might be a problem. Unless /boot/lib/modules can help. But if I am not mistaken that /boot/lib/modules is stored in initrd.lrp so the modules there are loaded from the boot device by syslinux. So when linuxrc is run, the modules are loaded and the packages located on the HD can be loaded if the parameters on the syslinux.cfg are correctly set. you need ide-mod.o ide-disk.o ide-probe-mod.o and for cd ide-cd.o isofs.o in /boot/lib/modules and boot=/dev/hda1,msdos PKGPATH=/dev/hda1 in syslinux.cfg (hda1 to be changed according to your setup) the easiest is to prepare a standard bering floppy (bad summary from the lrpharddisk howtp...) - boot it - copy the modules in /boot/lib/modules - backup initrd - boot with a dos floppy - fdsik/format your partition - use syslinux to install the boot loader ( don't forget the lock command before syslinux) copy all files from your bering floppy to the hd edit syslinux.cfg ( see above) remove the floppy... reboot won't allow you to put lrp packages on that disk since those modules are loaded after unpacking the lrp packages. Could be just mumbling here though. Jacques any insight here? Could we use modules to boot from HDD?
