Do not do this:!: :D

To be able to install NimbleX on HDD or USB you must have a partition formated in a Linux file system. I recommend XFS because from my researches and from my experience it is the best.

You should then mount the partition under /mnt/hda1 (hda1 is just an example. Replace with your own. The SATA, SCSI and USB devices will be something like sda1.)

Now copy all the NimbleX files to that partition.
Code:
cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,etc,home,lib,root,sbin,usr,var} /mnt/hda1
mkdir /mnt/hda1/{boot,mnt,proc,sys,tmp}
cp /boot/boot/vmlinuz /mnt/hda1/boot


Mount proc and dev
Code:
mount -t proc proc /mnt/hda1/proc
mount --bind /dev /mnt/hda1/dev
mount -t proc proc /mnt/hda1/proc


Chroot the partition that has nimblex files on it
Code:
chroot /mnt/hda1


In the last stage you will have to configure lilo or other boot manager to boot NimbleX
Code:
liloconfig

Then edit newly created file /etc/lilo.conf (still in chrooted environment) and replace "read-only" with "read-write" for your linux partition.

Read this too before you start installing!

This small tutorial also applies for other live CDs based an Linux-Live scripts :idea:

If you are a windows user and distroy the MBR withought having this intension, you can recover it by booting the windows installation CD, entering in the recovery console and type fixmbr.[url]
