I'm trying to instal dsl to hd ,but cfdisk comand returns an error.
dmesg | grep hda returns :
Optarac DVD RW AD-7530B, ATAPI CD/DVD-rom drive
attached ide-scsi driver
So i figure that is the problem.Right?
What should i do?
You're trying to partition a CD/DVD disk?
Does DSL mean a DSL modem or does it mean 'damnsmalllinux' or something else?
Linux hard drives are often not named hd[a-z] any more. Try 'fdisk -l' to list all drives and see which one is the hard disk, it's probably sda.
Yes, I'm refering to Damn small linux :).I tryed fdisk -l but it shows nothing and cfdisk sda is gives the same eror as cfdisk hda. Is there another way I could get knowledge of HDD location?
cat /proc/partitions
Cat /proc/partitions show an empty table.Should there be partitions
before cfdisk command is used?
It doesn't see it. Perhaps it doesn't have a working driver for your machine. What is it?
If you are asking about my laptop it's benq s32.I didn't quite catch what do you call a "machine".:o
Yeah, buying a brand-new laptop and expecting linux to work on it is an exercise in frustration. Everything's going to be cutting-edge because the kernel people have had as much time to work on the hardware as you have. 
I would wonder if the latest gentoo livecd can see the disks, I've had good luck with it, though that may not help you install DSL...
Ok, thank you i will try it.
