peewee creates the partitions based on the size of your image. you can also
specify how much space you want free.

so you should define your target as the device, and not the partition.
partiotions you have previously will be deleted. if you need to add extra
software that is not part of the peewee image you can do that afterwards.

  Subject: [Peeweelinux] Cannot stat /dev/hdc11, compact flash, **urgent**
pls help


  Hi friends

  I am using PQI 128MB compact flash, to install Peewee with X on it to use
with QT/X11 application.



  It seems to me very interesting, previously I have managed to put Linux
(montavista) with networking support on my CF .



  I want to try it with X now and also peewee Linux with it.





  1)     I connect the CF as a secondary master IDE

  2)     Do Cfdisk /dev/hdc  to make primary ex2 partition and make it
bootable which is /dev/hdc1

  3)     Reboot

  4)     Start ./pwlconfig

  5)     Configure kernel 2.4.17 and all other packages

  6)     When I try to write the thing on my target , which I spacidied as
/dev/hdc1 in target configuration, it come up with this error L



  I tried many times even to format CF again and again (which is not good
L )





  Warning: start=32 - this looks like a partition rather than the entire
disk. Using fdisk on it is probably meaning less [using the -force option if
you really want this]



  Failed



  Creating ext2 file system.. mke2fs 1.26





  Cannot stat /dev/hdc11 .................. and every thing after this is
failed







  I appreciate any suggestions and help I am new to peewee.





  Please help





  Regards



  Rushi
