Running 'SETUP' after installation


Hi I've got an iBook G3 which I'm installing Slackintosh. The CD drive on this thing is a bit iffy and it all went wrong an the end of the first CD. So I've got a working version of Slackintosh 12.1 on the HD but no x windowing system or any other packages from the other 3 CD's.

I've tried editing the yaboot.conf to recognice a firewire drive I got so I can try boot of that but it's proving difficult. But I can mount the drive when the system loads of the HD. Now I want to start the setup application again but run it all from the firewire drive. Where can I find it?

I've looked at the install CD and can't find it and it's non int /usr/sbin or /etc/bin on the HD.

Any hints?

If your system is bootable, you don't need to to run setup again. You can just mount the install CD and install the missing packages. As to gist of your question, the setup prgram is inside the initrd.gz file on the install CD.
