SLAX - LINUX users - help needed

i need some help installing Slax on my hard drive...

i can run the Live CD fine, as long as i run xconf before running startx

the hard drive has nothing on it

I ran cfdsk, but it didnt make much sense to me, so i ran fdisk, and created a partion on the hard drive ( just made it the entire size of the drive)

now i need to run mkfs to create a file system, but i dont know what argument to use, or even ehich file system i should use (ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs)

after this, I know I need to mount the partion i created, so that Im not tryin to change a read only CD, but Im not sure how to do this correctly.

once mounted, I am supposed to copy the files to the new partition. I am using

cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,etc,home,lib,root,sbin,usr,var} /mnt/hda1

but since i dont know how to properly mount the partition, it tells me the folders are read only.

my next line would be

mkdir /mnt/hda1/ {boot,mnt,proc,sys,tmp}

then

cp /boot/boot/vmlinuz /mnt/hda1/boot

after all that, Im supposed to mount proc and dev, chroot hda1 and configure lilo by using

mount -t proc proc /mnt/hda1/proc
mount --bind /dev /mnt/hda1/dev
chroot /mnt/hda1
liloconfig


this is all i know, I found this stuff online, but alot of it doesnt make sense to me. Anyone help me out getting this installed?

thanks
colin
