Re: [Plug] Problems installing Caldera
|
I think you need to mount the partition first.
Usually there is a directory called /mnt so you would go into there and
then create a directory, such as hdb1
Then, you would do:
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1
if it's an ext2 parition. or if it's a dos partition, you would do:
mount /dev/hdb1 -t vfat /mnt/hdb1
Then the path would be:
/mnt/hdb1/inst
