dan et al, i manage to get puredyne to run out of the HD now, it was a bit dirty but it can get you out at least to fix the rest of things outside the liveCD enviroment.
what i did -roughly- cause i hardly remember: -boot under the liveCD (gentoo one i had at hand cause for some reason i was unable to do the grub-install using the puredyne one) -mount the partition where /boot is located in my case: $ mkdir /mnt/sda1 $ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 i had to copy the device.map from the liveCD into /mnt/sda1/boot/grub then run grub-installer --root-directory=/mnt/sda/boot/grub/device.map -cp from the liveCD (boot from the puredyne one) all from the /live/extra.../boot dir into your /mnt/sda1/boot directory this is kernel, initrd, etc.. finally tweak your the menu.lst accordingly, i will post mine later tonite, im sure there are options i should add or change to it. so far, i could ran the aptitude update, will have to add the puredyne repos and follow to add and customize the desktop. /a --- had to make a grub-install using the device.map of a liveCD 20:47 < dspstv> then moved kernel and initrd to my partition /boot dir 20:47 < dspstv> then tweak the menu.lst file --- [email protected] http://identi.ca/group/puredyne irc://irc.goto10.org/puredyne
