I think that most of you know zeroshell , actually it has nice features and its performance is good also ...
but the problem with Zeroshell that its file system is strange ...
I wanted to do some modifications to its Web Interface to make it more simple but i could not do that , because it is read only system ( CDFS - ISO6990 ) .
even for the CF/USB image makes two three partitions , one for Grub and the other for the Zeroshell System as CDFS partition and the last one for the database ..
also I tried to install the Live CD to the HDD as the following :
1- make a FAT16 Partition
2- I used syslinux to make write the MBR to make it bootable
3- I copied all the files from the CD to this partition including the protected and system files .
4- I moved all the files inside the isolinux folder to outside .
5- I renamed isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg , and checked its content .. it does not need changes .

but this way also did not work for me , the booting stopped after the initrd loading , and it could not mount the RootFS .

actually , I don't know how this system boots , and I tried every thing I know to install Zeroshell to HDD and make its files editable .

I am new the Linux , and i am trying to improve my knowledge ..
so please I need the professionals help with this situation
thanks for your replys in advance

Never heard of it.


Maybe instead see http://digilander.libero.it/smasherd...su%20HD-EN.pdf ?

thanks , but i know this way ..
this will write the zeroshell image as it is on the HDD , keeping the ISO9660 FS , and it is read only file system ...
i want to do some modifications , how i can change the FS to R/W FS ?

You don't edit a CDROM (image) directly. You can loopmount the partition, extract the El Torito if any, copy CDROM contents to a R/W FS, edit, mkisofs, then 'dd' back in the image. You better move the next partition first if the image size is bigger than the original.

You can find steps on how to install Zeroshell on HDD without problems: http://computing-tips.net/Solution_H...d_drive_WinXP/

I read somewhere that you can do a bit of modification in Zeroshell. /Database/ folder can be edited. I am not a guru. You can search along that path.

i used an external dvdrom, and i have a error 110, but now i user from usb pen, no problem, successfully installed
