Newbie TC install on HD help
tc1386:
Hello Im trying to install TC on my hard drive
Im running TC from LiveCD also I have an IDE hd
On step 3 I tried the
cfdisk /dev/hda
command but it said it was not found
then i typed
cfdisk /dev/hda1
as thats what my hd is listed still not found
i skipped it as i already had a linux system on it and was partitioned correctly - the instructions said to skip to step 5
Heres what happened I get to step 4 following these instructions
http://www.tinycorelinux.com/install.html
I typed(as root)
mount /mnt/hda1
but then I got
sh: mount/mnt/hda1: not found
I dont know what this means, under device boot it lists my partitions
/dev/hda1 * Linux
/dev/hda2 extended
/dev/hda5 Linux swap

My personal preference for installing a new tinycore system to a hard drive is to use "usbinstall", available from the control panel, although others may disagree.
You will need to install dosfstools and syslinux via app browser first before running usbinstall. A copy of the tinycore iso is also required (unless you point usbinstall to the "running" system which might be more complicated for a new user). When asked about a drive, type in hda, and when asked about what type (ext, hdd, or zip), read the description and choose which is best for you. I usually choose ext (ymmv)
good luck

ok tried install again and was able to get past step 4
I typed
mkfs.ext/dev/hda1
and it formated then i followed by the
rebuildfstab command
In step 5 it says
Mount the new install partition:
mount /mnt/hda1
i typed it and I get
sh: mount/mnt/hda1: not found
Sorry for trouble ???

You mean
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/hda1
I guess

ok I got it installed- the problem?
Well my faul the print on the install guide was sorta misleading- I couldnt make out the spaces between some of the commands
Thanks!
TC is great.
