Hello All,
I want to run DSL on an old laptop (P1, 1.4 GB HD, 16 MB RAM) currently running Tiny Linux. I cannot boot from the cd so I figured out a way to mount a zip drive in Tiny and copy the Knoppix filesystem over to a small FAT32 partition (hda3). Then I use the DSL boot floppy to boot up and choose:
Quote:
dsl fromhd=/dev/hda3 lowram vga=normal
|
I do have a swap partition too.
When I arrive at run level 2 I get an error saying something about not finding a ramdisk in fstab or something else (it goes by too fast).
But the process continues until run level 5 where I see:
Quote:
X auth creating new authority file /home/dsl/ .Xauthority
giving up
xinit No such file or directory (errno2)unable to connect to X server
xinit No such process (errno3): server error

Does anyone have any ideas what is going on here? I am not a total noob, but close. I am trying to upgrade the RAM but 40 MB would be the maximum on this machine. Would that help? Thanks!
