Yes we can..ubiquity was not available till BT4 Beta i guess..i wrote this script long back..and thought of sharing it..ubiquity is now ofcourse a better option as an installer

Can’t we use “ubiquity” to install it to HD?

It seems your root file system is mounted as Read Only. Check entry in /etc/fstab has rw parameter defined for root file system.
you can also try fsck -P command. Check man page for more details.
I hope it will work for you

I have spent many many long nights getting to this point. could you email me both the bt3 and the
bt4 beta software loader. I think this has been a hard thing for me but I never give up. Any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I have learned that one must, for the most part, move on with or without help. Thank you so much. If you would ever have the time to talk to me, my number is 727-436-1421 am getting a little old now and stated with computers in 1956 at Princeton University research and I the love of my live is technology. Thank You! Billy

Bughira,

Thanks man, i checked the /mnt/BT/boot folder was empty. Then chroot to it again. Ran lilo -v and it failed again same problem. But i tooka look in the folder and noticed that the linuxv image was named including the version. So i removed that and it worked . But even tho now i can boot without the CD. I cant “startx” i get this;

root@bt#/ startx
mktemp: cannot create temp file /tmp/serverauth.xozHMu5766: Read-only file system
usr/bin/startx: line 58 cannot create temp file for here document: Read only file system…….etc etc

Anymore help would be very much appreciated. Thanks again.
