New to Bodhi - Install with grml-rescue boot?
by prices1950 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#54MSM)
Bottom Line Up Front: I am looking for instructions to do the grml-rescue install of Bodhi 5.1.0-legacy. Does anyone have a pointer to something kind of step by step? I have the ISO.
I have an old Dell Latitude I am trying to repurpose. 348 Mem, 18 GB disk, CD, and one USB-1 slot that the BIOS does not recognize as a boot device. I have Mint 10 installed at the moment but the Package Manager is way out of date causing problems at each turn. Mint 10 is way out of date and newer versions want more resources than I have.
So...
Bodhi Legacy seems like is should run fine if I can get it installed. The 5.1.0 Legacy ISO is 764 MB so I can't use a CD.
I previously tried installing a different small Linux using a grml-rescue boot to install - again too big for a CD. The install started well but failed as my system had insufficient memory. Great learning experience and of course I did not save the instructions and haven't been able to find them again.
I am using my Windows system as my interface to the world as I do not have a working browser on the Dell. So getting software and scripts is a two step process and slow :)
