Unable to install to HDD!

(1/2) > >>

actionbastard:
Hi guys,

first time user for tiny-core! ;D Switching from Crunchbang! Anyways im trying to install into the hard drive, but unable to download (through appmanager) cfdrive and grub . I tried to find other mirrors but those aren't working for me either.  ???

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

maro:
Did you by any chance mean 'the 'cfdisk.tcz' and 'grub-0.97-splash.tcz' extensions?

As it is easier to give precise instructions (and potentially receive back error messages) I'd like to suggest to run in a terminal:
    tce-load -wi cfdisk grub-0.97-splash

Juanito:
You could try downloading directly:

Hi:
When you try to install on HD there are so many ways to do it and it depends
also a lot on your system confifuration.
Is your HD blank or has it other partitions?
If other partitions are present, which format (fat,ntfs,ext3 as0) ?
Are there any other operationg systems on that drive?
Do you have a spare IDE socket where you could connect another blank hd?
Do you have a USB port and can your BIOS boot from this USB port?
Do you have a hard disk parttioning program (live CD) such as parted magic or so?

Once you have the answers on all this questions - you may move one step forward and decide what you want to do next.

Let me know and I will try to help you on your next step.

have a good one
