Next: 3.2 Manual Installation Up: 3.1 Installing from CD-ROM Previous: 3.1.3 Boot Loader Location
Once you have decided on target device and boot loader location, you can run the installer. The script is called ttylinux-installer and can be invoked as follows, the square brackets indicate an optional parameter, the partition device is used for the installation target:
ttylinux-installer [-m] <CD-ROM dev> <target partition dev>
For example, to install from the CD-ROM device /dev/hdc into partition device /dev/hda2 and placing LILO on the MBR, /dev/hda disk device, you would use:
ttylinux-installer -m /dev/hdc /dev/hda2
Another example, installing from the second SATA CD-ROM device /dev/scd1 into the third partition device of the second SATA disk and placing LILO on the boot sector of the target partition:
ttylinux-installer /dev/scd1 /dev/sdb3
The installer checks if the source CR-ROM device contains a ttylinux CD-ROM; if the CD-ROM is found then a summary of what is to be installed on which device is printed and you are given a choice of continuing or aborting. Enter "yes" to continue the installation.
The installer creates an ext2 file system on the target partition then copies the ttylinux distribution files onto the new file system, and then installs the LILO bootloader.
After the installer is finished you can remove the CD-ROM from your computer and reboot.
