Berry Linux Documents

The difference between "Knoppix" and "Berry Linux".

"Berry Linux" Remastering How to.

Boot Options.

Is there an English language version ?

Use "lang" option at the boot time. (See the boot options for more detail)
Refer to follow lines.

1. Boot from Berry Linux CD.
2. Type "berry lang=us" at LILO.

For example,
Berry Linux CD-ROM System...
LILO: berry lang=us

Copy to root directory in Harddisc from /BERRY/BERRY in Berry Linux CD-ROM. And make the boot disc from /BERRY/boot-fd.img. It's OK that boot from Floppy disc. Ofcourse you can use LILO or GRUB. You can use Berry Linux comfortable by using this option than booting from CD-ROM.
# mkdir /BERRY
# cp /mnt/cdrom0/BERRY/BERRY /BERRY/
# dd if=/BERRY/boot-fd.img of=/dev/fd0
Berry Linux is compliant with ext2, ext3, vfat, ntfs, iso9660. Berry Linux compliant with NTFS (WinXP) from 0.37.

Sample of /etc/lilo.conf

image=/boot/vmlinuz
	label=berry
	initrd=/boot/initrd.gz
	read-only
#	vga=791
	append="devfs=mount boot=cdrom looproot=/BERRY/BERRY"

Please do as follows to "Poor Mans's Install" to eg '/dev/hdb2'.
1. Copy /BERRY/BERRY from Berry LiveCD to /mnt/hdb2/BERRY/.
2. Copy /Setup/initrd.gz from Berry LiveCD to /mnt/hdb2/BERRY/.
3. Copy /Setup/vmlinuz from Berry LiveCD to /mnt/hdb2/BERRY/.
4. Modify Grub's 'menu.lst'. For example,
title  Berry Linux Poor Man's Install on /dev/hdb2/BERRY
root (hd1,2)
kernel /BERRY/vmlinuz boot=cdrom berry_dir=/BERRY/BERRY video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr vga=791 splash=silent noapic overlay=ram
initrd /BERRY/initrd.gz

In principal, yes (after all, the "master" system also runs on a hard
drive before it is burned to CD). However there is currently no
installation GUI for this, so installation to a hard drive should probably
only be attempted by more knowledgeable Linux users. Assuming the BERRY
system has already booted, installation approximately follows this
procedure:

1.) initialize a free partition with the ext2 file system and mount it on
    /mnt/berry, for example.
2.) cp -a /BERRY/* /mnt/berry/
3.) set up /mnt/berry/etc/fstab and /mnt/berry/etc/lilo.conf for the
    new system (Caution: symlinks in /boot initially point to the ram
	disk!), run lilo.
4.) mkdir /mnt/berry/home/berry && \
	chown berry.berry /mnt/berry/home/berry
5.) Reboot, try the system out, fix any broken settings.

The case of using Berry Linux Installer to install on hard disk, you can do dualboot to use /boot/bootsect.lin file that installer made. You can see more detail this (Japanese).

Use rdesktop from Berry Linux 0.28. You can see more detail this (Japanese).
