- Greetings,
-
- I am trying to install the SLS package from my DOS partition.
-
- the sysinstall help is rather vague on this subject. I have created the
- linux file systems and booted off of the floppies. NO problems.
-
- The sysinstall command is the problem. I have read through all the docs
- but I cant figure out how to make the install come from the DOS partition.
-
- I have tried sysinstall -all -instsrc /dos/linux -instroot /mnt
- and other variations.
-
- /dos/linux is where the untarred distribution lies. /dos is the mounted dos
- partition. /mnt is the root linux filesystem.
-
- what am I doing wrong. I seems like I am so close ?
-
- Thanks. Rob.
