Since i didn't have a dvd on hand to try out the gOS space thing, i decided
i would try to run it from my hard drive instead. I've gotten close several
times, but I am having some problems.

I started based of this first:

http://www.neowin.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t305843.html

But, that is for noppix, and isn't quite perfect. So, i wen't to this, which
was closer, but still not perfect.

I've gotten the live-dvd extracted to /mnt/hda4/gOS

and this is the current grub initiation i'm using, but it gives me a busybox
and a initramfs prompt instead of booting up.

title gOS Live-CD from HD

root (hd0,0)
kernel /mnt/hda4/gOS/casper/vmlinuz ramdisk_size=1048576 root=/dev/ram rw
quiet splash
initrd /mnt/hda4/gOS/casper/initrd.gz
savedefault
boot



any suggestions would help. Thanks.
