I bought a LS-120 and want to install Linux onto it. It wouldn't let
me mount or partition it. Please Help. I really don't want to install
Linux onto my hard drive. Thanks for whatever suggestions that you
might have.
-------------------------------------------------------
On dos or windows your ls120 is drive A: or B: Under linux it's
/dev/hdX (where hd is b,c, or d) I installed my ls120 as a slave on
the second cable, so it is my /dev/hdd. I have not tried to run fdisk
on it so I don't know if it CAN be partitioned but I suspect so. If
you do this you will probably ruin the diskette for dos use. I
havn't tried putting a linux system on an ls120, but it can't think of
a reason why it won't work. NOTE that the kernel MUST have ide floppy
support in it, which the default boot kernel on the install/rescue
disk DOES NOT. That's probably your problem. You must make a special
boot disk on another machine to be able to install onto an LS120.
Can't be a module if you want to BOOT of the ls120.
