I'm trying to install Peanut Linux onto an old 120MHz Pentium, with 16MB RAM, and a 1.8GB SCSI HD. There is no integrated mobo sound.
The bios is old, and can't be updated. It is an early version that doesn't boot off the CD. Because of this, I've attempted to install from the HD. That wasn't successful, so I then created the two installation disks to install of off the CD. After booting up, mounting the CD, I then started the installation process. Early in the installation process, I'd get a error message that reports that tar failed because of a previous error. Can't get the full error message because it is obstructed by the GUI. However, the installation continues all the way to 100%. In the end, I get the following message:
chmod: /mnt/peanut/boot/vmlinuz: Not a directory
/usr/bin/peanut: cannot create /mnt/peanut/etc/fstab: is a directory
From the first line, I know what chmod is. I also see that it isn't a directory because boot is a file that is already at the /mnt/peanut directory. From the second line, I'm not sure if fstab is a file, or a direcory.
I've downloaded the small.iso a couple of times from different places, so that rules out a corrupted file. I've had no problems burning both iso's to disk. What am I overlooking here? Please someone point me in the right direction. I'm also inexperienced with command line, so if you can be clear and specific, I'd appreciate any help.
