Adam: thanks I did follow through the right process but the CF on my
soekris 4826 was too small! I will probably try customization... <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 2/7/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Adam S</b> <<a href="mailto:oakleyred@gmail.com">oakleyred@gmail.com</a>> wrote:

<br><br>This README.live-cd provide information on how to install Voyage Linux from the<br>Live CD:<br><br>Afte booting the Live CD, login as root (password: voyage)<br><br>1. Create distribution directory for installation
<br><br> # mkdir /tmp/root<br> # mount -o loop /live_media/casper/filesystem.squashfs /tmp/root<br> # cd /tmp/root<br><br>2. Make a mount point for installation disk<br><br> # mkdir /tmp/cf<br>
<br>3. Format target disk device<br><br> # /usr/local/sbin/format-cf.sh /dev/hda<br><br>This will create /dev/hda1 ext2 partition on /dev/hda disk device.<br>** Note that this operation is very dangerous since it will erase your disk!
<br> Make sure what you are doing and must do it right!<br><br>4. Start voyage.update installation script<br><br> # /usr/local/sbin/voyage.update<br><br>Following the instruction to select /tmp/root as distribution directory, and
<br>/tmp/cf as mount point. After the installation complete, simple reboot the<br>board and Voyage will be started!<br><br>There are some additional packages installed for PXE and NFS server. After<br>starting Voyage, you can safely remove them by:
<br><br> # remountrw<br> # apt-get remove casper syslinux atftpd nfs-user-server \<br>
