Hi,
I put together a HOWTO a few months ago but it was lost when the new forums were setup! ;-{
the key thing was to copy the elive .iso file to a designated partition via the below command:
cat cdrom.iso > /dev/hda4in the above example the .iso file is copied directly to the first hard disks 5th
partition.
the command
fdisk -lshould reveal the partitions on your system.
boot off a Gujin floppy/hardisk and select elive
that's how I got elive going on a small sony vaio laptop that doesn't have a cd-rom drive.
hope the above helps, I know it's brief.
John
