In one of the ttys, you'll find output of the grub commands, but as long as the installer does not tell you grub failed, everything should be fine. When installation is finished, you can change tty by hitting Alt + F2, Alt + F3 etc to look for clues. One way to prep the harddisk during the beginning of an installation is to change to tty 2 (Alt + F2) and enter something like: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=1M count=1 Which will put 1MB of zeros at the beginning of your harddisk and thus overwrite both MBR and partition information. Of course you need to replace /dev/hda with the actual device node for your harddisk. Warning: do not do this if you intend to use one or more of the existing partitions or data from them. The command makes it hard to get old data of the disks.. :) c -- Christian Haugan Toldnes Trustix Developer _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
