Install DSL On HDD?

[subscrive]

Hi,

Can we install DSL on HDD?

Thanks.

Yes, you can install DSL to the hdd.
Right-click on the desktop, and look through the menus, you will see the option to install.

Don't just jump right in. You need to make a swap partition and a root partition first. Ask us if you need help with this.

The DSL installer is like most other installers and will have prompts for setting up /root and swap.

You have to make them manually before you start installing. Otherwise it just spits back an error message.

I just did a DSL install on a spare hard drive yesterday and I was prompted to make a /root and a swap.
I am not sure about older versions of DSL. But the latest 1.5 works just fine for installation with partitioning prompts.

Well then there's the problem, I'm using 1.4

well, get 1.5, it's only 50mb

50 mb is a standard for DSL.
Some might be 48 mb, but thay run real close to 50 mb.
