Hm... I'm working on enhancing my SM experience with a machine that has
another working Linux (booted over network) running but no ability to boot
from CD/floppy.
I'd like to install possibly both to local hard drive and to NFS similar to
the already running system.
First thing is: How do I install without booting from the ISO?
Download it and use the installer via loop-mount? Do manual creation and
filling of initial filesystem together with chrooting (like gentoo)?
There is
http://wiki.sourcemage.org/install_using_chroot_and_rsync
but this seems to be discouraged and I don't see the point in this rsyncing
since I don't intend to _replace_ the running system (just installing on
local hard disk or another NFS share).
Then, there is
http://wiki.sourcemage.org/FunWithChroot
Which looks a bit like being applicable to my aim... is there some better
place to look or should I just get started with my background and hybris from
some LFS and gentoo installs?
Probably, I'll get started anyway now; but maybe some response will help me
when I eventually will encounter the unavoidable wall that wants my head
banged on.
Greets,
Thomas.
You could just use the Sorcery INSTALL_ROOT functionality
(http://wiki.sourcemage.org/install_root_and_others) to install to a
partition/directory for chrooting into later.
