poor mans install won't boot (fromhd broken?)
Hello all,
I've been messing around with knoppix for a while now, where I use it on this little computer I irc from.. I used knoppix because it was complete, handy and this machine didn't have an HD.
Well, I have a small HD for this computer now, but its not really big enough to put much on -- certainly not as much as knoppix has! (1.2 gig). So I figure the poor mans install is perfect -- I get better speed, and keep knoppix's great selection of stuff.
tohd worked and booted fine... it ran off the HD without a hitch... but now I won't boot from it using fromhd! I have a persistant home directory as an image (home=/dev/hda1), configuration stuff (myconf=/dev/hda1) .. but fromhd=/dev/hda1 doesn't find the cd. I went and pointed it to the actual iso (?) with "fromhd=/dev/hda1/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX" or "fromhd=/dev/hda1/KNOPPIX" it all says the same error message:
Code:
Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Press reset button to quit.
They aren't kidding about very limited, incidently, its 100% useless. It doesn't even have ls.
Anyway, anyone know why knoppix can't find the image it made?
