How to Install NGEL on Hard Disk ?
The NGEL installation script is completed. The system can be installed by invoking the application “Install NGELinux on your hard disk” from your desktop.
Or from command line you can run below script to install the OS to your laptop hard disk.
Stay Tuned Here !!!
The almost complete output of the script can be seen as below:
[root@nglinux ~]# NGELINUX_HARDDISK_INSTALL
Welcome to NGE Linux Hard Disk Install Utility
This utility can be run only as root or by nglinux user
Here we will install the NGE Linux Live OS to our system hard disk.
The script supports by default creating partitions on complete disk and then install the system on it, or you can create partitions using gparted graphical utility and mention the partition for installation.
FIRST SELECT THE DISK ON WHICH YOU WANT TO INSTALL NGE LINUX ?
Select the disk for installation
1. Disk /dev/sda: 21.5 GB, 21474836480 bytes
2. Other
1
Selected Disk /dev/sda
Checking partitioning on the disk....
The disk is labeled and have below partitions:
Disk /dev/sda: 21.5 GB, 21474836480 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2610 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Enter partition on which you want to install the NGE Linux or just press enter to create partition and use this complete hard disk ?

Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
After that, of course, the previous content won't be recoverable.

WARNING: DOS-compatible mode is deprecated. It's strongly recommended to
switch off the mode (command 'c') and change display units to

Now mounting the filesystem ....
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/nglinux type ext4 (rw)
mount: /mnt/nglinux does not contain SELinux labels.
You just mounted an file system that supports labels which does not
contain labels, onto an SELinux box. It is likely that confined
applications will generate AVC messages and not be allowed access to
this file system. For more details see restorecon(8) and mount(8).
