with X/GUI, Core Plus works. but I can't do the full installation: when I select USB-HDD, the label "Existing Partitions" is shadow and  I can't select it. why? i dont't want to install it in whole disk!



my hard disk (10GB) has this partitions:

sda1: DSL (EXT2) 2GB
sda2: Windows 2000 (FAT32) 3GB
sda3: Linux Swap 270MB

You can only select a partition in Frugal Mode install

So select  Frugal > Existing Partition > desired partition > forward arrow (next)

;)

Define full installation please?

I see Frugal as a Full installation.   If you're talking about scatter mode install, I don't believe that is supported, certainly scatter mode install is discouraged.


USB-HDD & USB-ZIP  is relative to BIOS compatibility (These modes use whole disk only).  I'm thinking PC's with a BIOS which needs USB-HDD and USB-ZIP support are almost extinct

That said, I think maybe there is some confusion over Full install??

I mean something like DSL, with all directories: /etc /usr /var /proc ecc...

Core has all these directories too.
They are in RAM just like they are in DSL.

in DSL  the directories are in hard disk, not in RAM.
