Hello everyone,
looking in this section of DSL forum I was hoping for basic instructions on simply: How to do dsl-hdinstall? I'm using the embeddable dsl and I have a second hard drive in my computer; I want to install to the second hard drive. I already have the hard drive erased. Here's my first question: When I open up a terminal and type:
Code:
sudo -s
dsl-hdinstall
the DSL install script asks me what hard drive I want to install to. How can I tell what the name of each hard drive is? Would my first hard drive be hd0, the second be hd1, and so on? Why am I seeing examples with names such as "hda1, hda2," and so on? Wouldn't it just be hd0, hd1, hd2, etc?
Now my second question: What's the difference between Grub and Lilo? How do I choose which one I want to use?
Last question: I have a 14-year old computer and a new one running Windows XP. I plug the hard drive of the 14 year old computer into the computer with Windows XP and I install DSL onto the old computer's hard drive. If the installer writes the bootlaoder to the MBR of my disk, will it write to the old hard drive or the new hard drive?
Sorry if these questions are
really simple, bear with me.
