VL-5.1-LIVE-RC2.iso
 

Downloaded this iso today,burned it to cd, then booted up into it.
I like what i see , so i want to install it to my hard drive but
there is no install icon or istall item in the menu. How do i
install this distro ?

Nevermind
 

I downloaded and installed Vector 5.1 Soho which i like better
because it has KDE.

I would like to know how to do an HD install from the liveCD so I can test Vector to see if I like it and install it if I do.

To install from the VL-5.1-LIVE-RC2 live cd, boot the cd and login as ROOT. Then open a terminal and execute "vliveinstall".

To install from the VL SOHO live cd, boot the cd and login as ROOT. There will be a desktop icon for the installation. One thing that confuses folks is the options for installing the boot loader appear to only include the MBR. But just click on the window and edit the entry to what ever you want.

Good luck, jimbo
