How to install ExTiX to hard disk

Log in to Gnome as root and go to Program >> Systems Tools >> Install paldo.
The install program starts showing this.

Don't change language or keyboard layout. (You can do that later). Just click "Forward" to show
this re. partitioning.

Be careful now. You must in advance (i. e. before ExTiX-Installer is started) create one install
partition of about 5 GB and one SWAP partition of about 2 GB (or the double size of your RAM).
Then choose your created install partition as "Root partition" and your created SWAP partition
as "Swap partition". Pay no notice to "Home partition" and "Boot partition". Choose to install
GRUB as the picture shows (if you don't before have one Linux system installed on your
computer and therefore already use GRUB to boot your ose's). Then click "Forward".

Choose your "Host name" and "Root password" and click "Forward".

Create one ordinary user by choosing a "User name" and "Password". Then click
"Forward" again .

Now control carefully that everything is correct before you click "Apply" so the installation
starts.

The above picture shows how it looks during the installation. The whole thing only takes about
ten minutes on a "normal" computer.

































When the installation is ready the above "success" message shows up. Before you may
restart the computer you  must however do the following:

A) You have choosen not to install GRUB
Mount your linuxpartition with GRUB installed with the commands mkdir /mnt/sda8 and mount /dev/sda8 /mnt/sda8. Then use Nautilus and go to /mnt/sda8/boot/grub/menu.lst.
(You shall of course change "sda8" to suit your computer). Add the following to your
current menu.lst.

title ExTiX - The Ultimate Linux System (sda5)
root (hd0,4)
kernel/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.30-extix root=/dev/sda5 resume=/dev/sda2 
initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.30-extix
# GRUB counts from 0, why sda5 is (hd0,4)
# root=/dev/sda5 is the partition where you have installed ExTiX
# resume=/dev/sda2 means that your SWAP partition will be used

B) You have installed GRUB during the installation of ExTiX
Mount the partition on which you have installed ExTiX with the commands mkdir /mnt/sda5 and mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sda5. Then add the following start data for your Windows system (if you
have one):

title Windows (sda1)
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1 

Afterwards you can edit menu.lst again by starting the computer from the ExTiX LiveDVD. I mean if
something after all should go wrong.

If you, however, have done e x a c t l y as I write under A) or B) you can calmly restart your computer and enjoy your ExTiX installation.

Good luck! /exton
