Can I install pyramidlinux on 8GB CF?

[sunhwa]

Hello,

I've bought Soekris5501 and 8GB CF.
I had installed modified pyramidlinux on soekris 4801 using PXE boot
method.
So I have used the same way to install linux on Soekris 5501.
but this method failed.
I don't know why?

I'd like to install pyramidlinux on soekris 5501 board with 8GB CF.
Let me know the solution.

You can probably mount the cf on / and have the on-board flash as /boot

You can do the typical dd if=/pyramid-1.0.5b.img of=/dev/sdaX bs=512
then expand the partition via these instructions.

<code>
Expanding the partition on a Soekris net4826 from 64MB to 128MB

After installing Pyramid Linux on a Soekris net4826 these are the
steps I took to expand the partition from 64MB to use the full amount
of embedded CF Flash (128MB)

I assume you have already got the latest image installed on your
net4826, if not do it now.

Reboot the box and when the boot menu appears select 'Shell'.

At the command prompt.

fsck /dev/hda1

fdisk /dev/hda (The follow are the keystrokes to enter whilst in
fdisk)

* d (Delete the partition)
* n (Create a new partition)
* p (set the partition as primary)
* 1 (Select the first partition)
* First Cylinder = 1 (This is the default)
* Last Cylinder = [Enter] (On a net4826 this is likely to be 1954,
the maximum size available is the default)
* a (This sets the boot flag)
* 1 ( - on partition 1)
* w (Write out the partition table)

Reboot the box and on boot up select the shell option again.

resize2fs /dev/hda1 (Resizes the partition) fsck -n /dev/hda1 (Check
the integrity of the new partition)

Reboot the box and select your pyramid installation.

When you have logged run 'df -h' and you should now have the full
amount of disk space available to you.

Thank you.

I installed pyramidlinux on  8G CF
using  dd if=/pyramid-1.0.5b.img of=/dev/sdb bs=512.
but I didn't resize memory because at the command prompt( 'shell booting'), I didn't find resize2fs.
and also I didn't find fsck, only system has e2fsck, fdisk, tune2fs,  cfdisk, etc.
My memory is still 64MB.

Let me give more solution to use 8G memory.
