I am new to linux and have decided to use slitaz on a desktop. I could boot from the CD but when I tried to install to the disk I got the massage "BOOTMGR missing". I was trying to install in one partition /dev/hda1 which was formatted to ext3. I think that wipes out the boot area on the disk.
I couldn't find clear instructions on how to setup the disk, so this is what I did.
I reformatted the disk (8GB) using a winXP cd. I selected R for repair and at the DOS prompt used the FORMAT command with NTFS as the file system.
Then when istalling slitaz I made a second partition of 7.7GB and formatted that as EXT3 leaving the first partition NTFS.
Installing slitaz to the second partition worked fine.
Please comment on what might be the correct way to set up a HD for installation of slitaz.
