Im having some trouble installing voltalinux, here are the directions for installing:
For step number 4, how can I make my root partition ext2 by command line? In the directions it shows for mkreiserfs which I don't want.

Then step 5, it says mount your new partitions under /voltalinux, which partitions? my root partition? and I thought I couldn't do this while I'm on the cd?

Step 6 it says to mount my cdrom device under /cdrom, I know #mount /mnt/cdrom but will it require mount /dev/hdc instead?

Other than that, how the hell can I edit my fstab and /etc/lilo.conf files while I'm on the cd? or any way for that matter?

Never installed this distro and am quite a newbie so my apologies if none of this works but looking at that and thinking about it.

try mkext2 or similar since the command they give is mkreiserfs (the type of filesystem)

Says partitions, so more than 1, so yeah mount them both I would imagine you create voltalinux in your freshly created / partition.

i've always seen and used

mount /dev/<device> /path

so i'd go with mount /dev/hdc /cdrom (probably creating it first is good )

I believe step 7 is telling you to untar the tar file on the cd (preusmably containing the full install of voltalinux) which would then contain those files that need editing, so you could just use emacs or VI from the cd to edit /voltalinux/etc/fstab etc.

Anyway just some wild guesses, hope it helps btu i'm sure someone who knows what they are doing has replied by now

How do I mount my main partition under /voltalinux?
