Title: usbinstall feedback
Post by: bmarkus on June 28, 2009, 04:29:11 PM

When usbinstall executed by a non root user script terminates immediately. Would be good to add a message like

"You must be a root user to install"

or something like that.

Yeah, I got tripped up by this as well.

Is there any drawback to using usbinstall to install to a hdd instead of a flash drive?

It wipes your drive? And the zip option might lose some available space.

Sure but if you're looking to easily install tc to a hard drive via ext or hdd methods, are there any obvious drawbacks to using usbinstall vs. http://www.tinycorelinux.com/install.html?

No. It isn't as flexible, and uses a different bootloader, but for the install, no drawbacks really.
