i have installed hard puppy in my hda1 yet it cant boot from the hardrive.
i wanted to install it right cause maybe i've input wrong amount of spaces in ext2 and swap linux....how can i delete those files?

can anyone direct me to the direction how to make this work?
a step by step guide and a recommended way for a laptop with 256 RAM and 30gb HD

i wanted to fully install this without any other OS.

Boot up from Puppy Linux CD and open GParted Partition Manager. Its available in Menu. Delete all partitions and create new.

* 8 GB, ext3 for /
* 512MB, SWAP
* Rest of space, ext3 for /home.

Start Installation and select Manual Partitioning in Partition Section. Select 8GB Partition and assign it / mount point. Select other ext3 partition and assign it /home mount point. Install will detect SWAP Partition itself.
Continue installation and installer will take care of rest.

Do let us know how it goes.

been trying to delete it but i can see the Delete all partitions and create new in the menu my livecd is puppy dingo.. is it really available with this edition?

i've attached a screen shot of the gparted partition mngr.. as you might find the fault of this installation while i follow the instructions found in my signature.

i would try your recommendation after i delete this.

SWAP Partition has been locked because Puppy LiveCD is using it. Try to unmount it using umount command.
You can delete partition after that.

Does Puppy CD give any options regarding SWAP/Memory usage at startup? Check its manuals. I will go through its manuals too and let you know.

i dont know if it was the right console that i'm using..

rxvt
# umount /dev/hda2
umount: dev/hda2: invalid arguement.
# unmount /dev/hda2
bash: unmount command not found.

lol.. im not sure if this is the right command prompt im using. its not like if i type a question mark [?], it would present its command list available.

can you tell me where i can do this lol totally new here. like start > run > cmd and ..
anyway, it didnt provide options regarding the swap/memory as i restart it.

i could try installing it again as soon as i can delete these partition.
