Installation on an EEEPC from USB
elbarbudo:
Hello
I am trying to install TCE on the "hard disk" (internal ssd) of my EEEPC.
I boot from an USB live image.
The installation dialog runs OK but it ends by telleing me that /dev/sda1 is mounted.
But the mount tool refuses to unmount it.
What can I do?
elbarbudo:
I found that using the "boot core + installation extensions" allowed to run the installer to sda1.
It ended by the message "installation complete" BUT after reboot, I got "No operating system" message.
What was wrong?
Juanito:
Is there an existing installation of tinycore on the ssd hd?
elbarbudo:
Normally not. The internal "drive" wad formatted from another live distro (Pixel for PC)
Finally I succeeded by choosing the installation to the whole disk.
BUT I lost the grub that was on it.
I used it to boot to the SD card without having to choose the boot device each time.
From what I can see I am unsure I will be able to re-install Grub on the internal drive without breaking the TCB install.
Misalf:
I believe Juanito asked for an existing installation because Tinycore will search for a tce directory on attached devices if not specified via boot code in the boot loader config.
You can install any boot loader you like as long as you are able to create the boot stanza in it's config.
But maybe syslinux, the default boot loader tinycore installs, will fit your needs?
