It was so evident that I regret for having reported this problem: The method is intended for live CDs, which is not the case. The correct grub2 configuration is just:</p> <p>menuentry "KahelOS installer" {<br /> insmod ext2<br /> set root=(hd0,3)<br /> linux /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda1 rw<br /> initrd /boot/kahel_pata.img<br /> }</p> <p>I was able to install the system. The only issue is not Kahel-specific: after partitioning the kernel is not able to re-read the partitions and one has to reboot and re-start the installation. </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/introducing-kahelos-light-edition-01-01-2010#post-609 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 05:56:06 +0000 mirix 609@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>Hello, I am trying to install the light edition from the HD (I have an old laptop with no CD-RW drive and unable to boot from a USB drive).</p> <p>In Xubuntu I created a new partition of 1 GB at the end of the HD and copied the iso image kahel-light-desktop-010110-i686.iso to that partition. Then I set up Grub2 by adding the following entry via update-grub:</p> <p>menuentry "KahelOS installer" {<br /> insmod ext2<br /> set root=(hd0,3)<br /> linux /boot/vmlinuz26 boot=boot root=/dev/ram1 ramdisk_size=508792 rw<br /> initrd /boot/kahel_pata.img</p> <p>This method works for Ubuntu and derivatives. For Kahel OS, the installer boots and it takes me to a menu. Whatever I do from that point on, a message pops up asking me if I want to abort the installation. When rebooting, I see an error message for a second "no space left" on the device. I guess (this is just a guess) that the image is decompressed or is trying to be installed in the 1GB partition. Maybe the problem is "root=/dev/ram1"... Should it be /dev/ram or /dev/sda1 or what... Any ideas?</p> <p>Best regards,</p> <p>Miro </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/introducing-kahelos-light-edition-01-01-2010#post-556 Mon, 04 Jan 2010 11:00:02 +0000 fplolz 556@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>The function keys /cpufan control /battery management are loaded as modules on booting up </p> http://forum.kahelos.org/topic/introducing-kahelos-light-edition-01-01-2010#post-543 Mon, 04 Jan 2010 00:02:32 +0000 ozzolo 543@http://forum.kahelos.org/ <p>Hi KahelOSians,<br /> I'm an ArchLinux almost-newbie, from Italy, eeePC powered (1000H).</p> <p>I'm going to try out this promising distro and I have some questions about:<br /> 1) why Xfce?
