To install the live DVD on a hard disc, you need to do the following steps:
1. Connect the hard disc to your computer.
2. Boot Linux on your computer (e.g. Live DVD Kubuntu).
3. Create partitions with fdisk (don't create a GPT partition table with gparted or similar):
- partition: swap partition (e.g. 128 MByte)
- partition: root file system (remaining hard disc)
4. Format root file system with:
- mkfs.ext2 -I 128 /dev/DEVICENODE
- NOTE: Replace "DEVICENODE" by your real device node (e.g. sdc2).
5. Format swap partition
- mkswap /dev/SWAP
- NOTE: Replace "SWAP" by your real device node (e.g. sdc1).
6. Mount DISC.BIN from the DVD.
- sudo mkdir -p /mnt/src
- sudo mount -r -o loop /media/dvd/DISC.BIN /mnt/src
7. Mount hard disc:
- sudo mkdir -p /mnt/dst
- sudo mount /dev/DEVICENODE /mnt/dst
- NOTE: Replace "DEVICENODE" by your real device node (e.g. sdc2).
8. Copy all files
- sudo cp -a /mnt/src/* /mnt/dst/
9. Copy fstab
- sudo cp /mnt/dst/etc/fstab.orig /mnt/dst/etc/fstab
9. Edit fstab:
- Line 1:
- Replace "#SWAP" by /dev/hda1
- Line 2:
- Replace first "unionfs" by /dev/hda2
- Replace second "unionfs" by ext2
- Line 3:
- Remove line (ROOTDEVICE)
10. Set video mode:
- sudo echo "PAL" >/mnt/dst/etc/xmode
OR
- sudo echo "NTSC" >/mnt/dst/etc/xmode
11. Umount
- sudo umount /mnt/dst
- sudo umount /mnt/src
12. Copy KLOADER.ELF and VMLINUX from the DVD to your memory card.
13. Start KLOADER.ELF on you
ps2. Start with parameter "--no-cdvd" if it is hanging because of the broken laser.
14. Select VMLINUX from memory card in kernelloader as kernel.
15. Select "Disable initrd".
16. Select "Set to hda2" in kernelloader.
17. Select "Save Current Config"
18. Select "Boot Current Config".
Then the Live DVD will run full speed from the hard disc.
