Hello All:
Thank you, GuidoSintoni and Ken Caldwell for your helpful installation
suggestions. Now, I must ponder what to do next.
If I understand you both correctly, on a larger machine, say my desktop with
132MB RAM and with Mandrake 7.1 already installed, I could boot the floppies
and clone the distribution to a directory, say /root/mulinux. Then, tarball
the /root/mulinux directory and copy it to my 4MB notebook.
But my notebook contains the following extended and logical partitions:
/dev/hda1 extended, /dev/hda5 Linux native and /dev/hda6 Linux swap. Other
than that, it is a virgin machine. So, how can I get the stuff copied over?
And once copied, how will I get the machine to recognize the distribution
from the boot diskette?
At a deeper level, if Mulinux prides itself on running on small machines
like mine, should it not also be able to install itself on these machines?
Thanks again,
ANDREW
