Journal planckscale's Journal: Knoppix 3.2 Hard Drive installation
knx-hdinstall
this brings up "Choose a hard disk". By pressing the space bar I select my HD and press enter (ok)
This brings up cfdisk 2.11y. I delete all partitions and then I choose 'new' -> Primary -> Size: 9400 (mb) -> at beginning of free space. I have a 10gb HD and want to leave 600mb for my swap. I then chose 'type - #85 (linux extended) and then chose 'write' partition table to disk and mark it bootable.
Next I select my 600mb partition, chose 'new' -> logical -> type = Linux swap -> write -> yes.
Quit
Do you want to use a swap partition? -> yes
choose a swap partition: (x)
Do you want to set up
Choose root partition: (x)
Filesystem type: (x) ext3
Do you want to create a filesystem -> yes
An error occured while creating the filesystem. Some messages from mkfs:
Maybe it's a cd-read problem, or the mkfs cannot use my system bus to create the file system. Next I will try to install without creating the filesystem. I ran into a different problem earlier trying to create a swap but overcame it by choosing to make the swap partition logical rather than a Primary swap partition.
