(rename it as install.sh, since GitHub does not support to upload .sh files)
How to use this file:
You have two possible options:
- Generate again the Installation CD-ROM, substituting the original
install.shby this one.- Proceed with a normal installation.
or
- Create a simple floppy disk formatted with an Ext2 filesystem (revision level 0 and without any features).
- Mount the floppy disk in your system and copy this script on it, (then
umountthe floppy disk). - Execute
debugfs -w /dev/fd0and set the revision level to 0 and remove any features. - Boot with the original FiwixOS 3.2 Installation CD-ROM.
- Before start installation, mount the floppy disk (
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy). - Start the installation executing the new script instead of executing the original script in the CD-ROM (
/mnt/floppy/install.sh).
- Mount the floppy disk in your system and copy this script on it, (then
UPDATE: I've updated the install.sh script to install all binary packages.
UPDATE2: Fixed the boot partition in GRUB on normal installations.
