There is no way one can tar up the build, then untar on an external drive and plug it into another system, then boot it and ssh into it. With my binary rpms....... Mount formatted drive in/at <filesystem> rpm -Uvh <filesystem> /srv/RPMS/Core/* umount <filesystem> Place drive into other machine Boot machine ssh <user>@<ip_address> su - <root_password> Fixup config files Add other packages as needed rpm -Uvh /srv/RPMS/ALL/<package_name.rpm> /srv/RPMS/ALL/dependency.rpm I do this as described every time I setup another machine. What if I don't want python or any other package(s) on the target machine? Now what? -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
