If the installation bring you direct to a login screen or can't find installation files when trying to install to hdd or usb but it works to run live and you want to install to hdd.

1.
option 1. use a usb cd player(not tested but i think it will work).
option 2. Use an other computer to make the installation to a usb flash drive so you can install from the usb stick.

2.
Boot your computer from the usb device.
when you comes to the login use root(no password requierd).

3.
Run install2hd width command /usr/bin/install2hd.sh

4.
Follow the instructions


I had this problem on a HP DC5800(intel Q33 Express chipset, CD on SATA)
Now working from hdd, also got the Dreambox remote to work(acts like XBOX remote), The old XBOX is soon retierd.

Hi, is your solution create a fat formated hdd with a file named ext3fs.img or it will format the patition with ext3 and everithing will be on hdd as a normal linux installation.

What you get is this

1 GB W95 FAT 32, boot partition
0,5 GB Linux swap
rest Linux ext3 mounted as /home

Test and see if it works for you it takes about 15min
