    I am trying to install Linpus Lite 9.4 by following the instructions below - However, as soon as I type in /sbin/fdisk /dev/hda or /sbin/fdisk /dev/sda I keep getting errors saying unable to open /dev/sda etc.......

    Who wants to install linpux linux lite on a USB-Pendrive or on a SATA harddisk, has to replace "hda" with "sda" and "hda1" with "sda1".

    [linpus@LINPUS ~]$ sudo bash
    [root@LINPUS ~]# /sbin/fdisk /dev/hda
    Command (m for help): p

    Disk /dev/hda: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes
    15 heads, 63 sectors/track, 17753 cylinders
    Units = cylinders of 945 * 512 = 483840 bytes

    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

    Command (m for help): n
    Command action
    e extended
    p primary partition (1-4)
    p

    Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-17753, default 17753):
