hello...
I installed slax6.2.0 on my hdd but now it wont boot...
Here's how i did it. Any light will be looked at..pls help.. slax is as clean as it can get..
I installed ubuntu8.04 on sda9 and made swap sda8 . next i went to the slax install in slax cd.
#mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda3
#mkswap /dev/sda8
#swapon /dev/sda8
#cd /mnt
#mkdir sda3
#mount /dev/sda3 sda3
#mount
#cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,etc,home,lib,root,sbin,usr,var,opt} /mnt/sda3
#mkdir /mnt/sda3/{boot,mnt,proc,sys,tmp}
#cp /boot/vmlinuz /mnt/sda3/boot
#mount -t proc proc /mnt/sda3/proc
#mount --bind /dev /mnt/sda1/dev
This was the steps done in response to the tutorial in the below link:
http://thanhsiang.org/faqing/node/75
now i did try going to the slax site ..but the following error was seen:
Network Timeout
The server at
www.slax.org is taking too long to respond
The requested site did not respond to a connection request and the browser has stopped waiting for a reply.
* Could the server be experiencing high demand or a temporary outage? Try again later.
