help installing a package
« on: April 16, 2011, 01:10:56 PM »
I would like to keep a bootable USB drive which will allow me to use hdparm commands so I can run the secure erase feature on harddrives.

I have decided to use microcore linux as my distro but it doesn't have hdparm as standard.

How can I put hdparm on my bootable usb drive?

Many Thanks!!
Rik

Please read the documentation and wiki on the web site.

Use the Mount Mode and the AppBrowser to install the hdparm extension.

Many people see what is. Some people see what can be, and make a difference.
