Hello! I've just purchased a Sylvania G Netbook which comes with gOS Escape Pod installed (this is a special distro just for this machine.)
When I first turned it on, it prompted me to enter the language, timezone, etc. and THEN installed the OS. As far as I can tell, this means that the OS was copied to somewhere on the computer (although it's not partitioned), but not installed as the OS. I could be wrong about the partitioning thing and even the installed thing, though, since they try to set up these machines for Windows-transitioners and I have not spent a lot of time poking around in it. At any rate, I would like to restore the machine to its factory conditions. I know how to reinstall gOS the normal way, which would mean making the ISO file accessible from a USB drive, setting the language, etc. and then installing it from a USB drive. But this is not what I want to do. Instead, I want to configure it so that the gOS ISO file is somewhere on the machine (where???) but when the next person turns it on it will prompt them for the language etc. and then do the install WITHOUT requiring a USB drive or CD. Everything should be self-contained on the machine as it was when I first opened it. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to do this? I'm getting a new machine so I'd like to give this one away in the condition that I recieved it, with gOS just about to be installed without an CD necessary. Thanks! bamboopiper --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gOS Linux" group.
