[linrad] Re: Linux Strikes Again



*Roger, perhaps this is true, however, it is still a surprise to my simple mind. I freely admit that these problems are between my ears. I just don't know how to recover from this failure on my part to grasp the concept.

I have commented in previous emails and in several documents the addresses
of which I have posted that the UNIONFS folder is there only when the
RAMDISK system is in play , when the CD boot is used. It is therefore
perfectly logical [and in fact expected] that it will disappear when a
Hard drive installation is performed.  And as just stated, this behaviour
has been documented previously on this list.



*I have no thought that your CD is defective. As a matter of fact, it is the only bright spot in my entire Linux/Linrad experience. The simple fact remains that I do not, even with your explanation, grasp the concept that what I install from the CD is not what I get when I boot from the CD.

There is nothing wrong with the CD that I uploaded in this respect.  The
scripts are written for CD boot. They are not written for HD boot.  If you
wish to boot from HD and use the scripts, simply remove the UNIONFS
portion of the address from the scripts where necessary and all will work
fine.



*I feel like I have been learning Linux for centuries. The simple fact remains that in my simple mind there is no logic to the Linux structure. This problem is not about lack of effort to learn about Linux, rather it is about something in my thought process that has not yet come to grips with the Linux structure and processes. I have a stack of information that has now grown to well over 2.5 inches thick. I have read every page several times, and so far it has yet to sink in. This information includes everything from a 166 page "basic" tutorial on Linux, to all of the generously offered information from you and others on this reflector. apparently I must be willing to accept the idea that I must be confined to the Live CD concept.

Taking some time to learn just a little bit about Linux, however
distasteful that may be, will go a long way in helping one to solve these
problems as they arise.


I am like that dog chasing the car. Now that I have caught it, I don't know what to do with it.

Let me suggest this as a possibility: is it possible to copy the data from the Live CD to a HDD and run it as if it were being booted from the CD? That would preserve the ease of using the Live CD, and provide the speed gained from a HDD installation.
