[Erp5-users] Cannot find /erp5cd using ERP5 Live CD 1.0rc11

[Frank DiRocco]

The erp5 live cd does not need an operating system installed. The operating
system is located on the cd and loaded in RAM. when you start up the live cd
you are presented with a dialog to format the hard drive. This will create
the needed directory structure on your hard drive. Once formatting is
complete and you reboot back into the live cd the new hard disk data will be
mounted at /mnt/erp5cd and your nonvolatile data will be stored in there.
Here is some good reading for solving most problems encountered with the
LiveCD http://erp5.org/FaqOnLiveCd
