Hi!
It's funny, but I was unable to find an answer to my question.
I am building an embedded system (x86).
I want to install syslinux on a fresh system.
So, I am booting from a USB LINUX CD (Ubuntu 12.04 in this case).
1) I must have an ext2 partition (This is my application).
2) I understand that I must have a FAT partition (to install
syslinux). Correct ?
So, basically I understand that I must create 2 partitions.
My disk is 4 GB of data, So I am thinking that the following
partitioning is best :
1) 10 MB for syslinux + syslinux.config + bzImage
2) 3.99 GB for ext2
Now, remember that I am working on a fresh system (not even formatted maybe).
Is there a recipe for what I should do ?
Same question goes for EXTLINUX (if that is the offer). What do do
when booting from a cd on a fresh system ?
Thanks
Mau
