Hi all,
I have run into a tricky situation..this is at my home..
1) I have working linux install
2) My machine can not boot from 700MB CD
3) Believe it or not, I don't have floppy drive. I don't have a dos/windows
installation either to run loadlin.
I want to install slackware 9 at home. Any idea how can I go about it?
I tried following.
1) Boot from CD. Obviously didn't work..
2) Try adding /dev/hdc as other target in lilo. Lilo didn't run successfully.:-
(
I have several idea but not too sure how much of use they will be.
1) Is it possible to load a kernel like loadlin does from linux? Say I copy it
on a reiserfs partition, add a target in lilo and tell lilo to load that thing
on next boot. Will it work?
2) Is there something similar to format/s in linux? I mean put a kernel on
empty partition and boot from it?
If I can reach setup program of slackware, I can move from there. But I could
not find it in slack iso. ( mounted using daemontools under windows and
searched it. No separate setup..)
Any help is greatly appreciated. Slack ISO is 678MB and I don't want to trim it
just for this..
TIA
Bye
Shridhar
