Hi, Let's say I have a machine that has Mandrake Cooker on it. Let's also say that I wanted to use the installer (drakx) to create a brand new installation (i.e. root filesytem and whatnot) on some empty partitions (LVM LVs actually) I have on the running system. Can I do it? In other words can I install into some empty diskspace on a running machine without having to reboot and do the installation that way?
I seem to recall when I was building custom installations for the last company I was working for with RedHat 7.0, Anaconda (the installer) had a mode where you could just start it on a running system and it would go through the steps and install into a directory passed to the installer. I suppose this was used more by the Anaconda developers for testing but it was nice for staging installs. Any way of doing something similar with DrakX? b. -- Brian J. Murrell
