Hello: I am trying to get tomsrtbt (1.7.259) installed on the hard disk of an old laptop (486, 16MB ram). I have closely followed the instruction on http://toms.net/tomsrtbt/199812/msg00022.html :however, I am still having problems. I get an error message that says [ UH-OH, Not Enough Memory ] and then something PCMCIA something.... It doesn't look to me like the settings.s script is being executed, I don't ever see the "Penguin" graphic that I get with a boot to floppy. Does anyone know what could cause this? (I have settings.s, rc.custom, zImage and map in my hard disk root directory -- see rc.M below). Here's what I've done so far: 1) boot tomsrtbt done. 2) fdisk to taste 1 linux native (120 mb, hda1) 1 linux swap (20 mb, hda2) 3) mkfs as desired, ext2 or minix, ext2 strongly recommended. (note: tomsrtbt does not include fsck.minix. If you use a minix filesystem, tomsrtbt does not have tools to fix it). used mke2fs 4) mount /dev/fd0u1722 on /fl done. 5) cp -vaf /fl/ /mnt done. 6) umount /fl done. 7) mount <whatever> on /mnt did this before 5) 8) 'cp -vafx / /usr/ /mnt' is I think the simplest way to do it. done. 9) Edit /mnt/etc/fstab to point to the right filesystems Looks like: /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 10 Edit /mnt/etc/rc.M Looks like: #!/bin/sh BT=1 PATH=/usr/bin:/bin . /settings.s update & . /rc.custom 11 cp /mnt/etc/lilo.conf.in /mnt/etc/lilo.conf and edit it couldn't find lilo.conf.in, but made one: > # LILO configuration file > # > # Start LILO global section > boot=/dev/hda > read-only > # End LILO global section > # Linux bootable partition config begins > image = /zImage > root = /dev/hda1 > label = zImage > read-only 12 learn lilo. use lilo. install lilo on the hard drive. executed lilo -v -r /mnt before I could do this, I had to copy boot.b into a directory (which I created): /mnt/boot, otherwise lilo complained about not being able to create a boot.3001 file in /mnt/boot >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong here? I've really tried to exhaust all potential options before posting to the list, as I know that a hard disk install is not the focus of tomsrtbt. Apologies up front for that, but I've really done everything that I know to do. Thanks for your help, Andy Lemmon
