4. Installing hal91 on a dos/windows harddrive.

4.1 Installing the base system

It is possible to install hal91 on a harddrive, booting up is lightning fast, and it is quite ideal if your enviroment hangs.

Instructions:

  1. Copy the contents of the hal91 diskette to your harddrive. (You need vmlinuz, initrd.gz, and hal91.bat on the root. hal91.ini and add.tgz must be in /hal91/ as on the disk
  2. Edit /boot.bat so that is points to the device where you've put hal91. (e.g. /dev/hda1 for the first harddrive)
  3. Type boot.bat, and hal91 should be booting.. (you can't be in windows95 while doing this.)
