That is too bad. I was hoping to make a new root filesystem on a new LVM LV on my workstation (while I did other stuff :-) that would be a nice clean 8.2 install and see if that makes my constant Galeon/Mozilla hangs go away. Installing from the CD also means that trying to install onto a new root LV will be impossible unless I hack the installer again. > So, do not even try :) You ruin all the fun Pixel. :-) > you can have a look at the "oem" script (and the things that go with it) from > the rescue.

OK. > but anyway, what you want is mainly "rpm --initdb /the_dir ; rpm --root > /the_dir -Uvh ...", Yes, if I knew what all RPMs I needed/wanted to install (without a whole lotta iterative attempts). :-) I also want a "more or less" standard install to see if the Galeon/Mozilla hangs go away. If I just plop a bunch of RPMs into a directory, it's hardly a "Mandrake installation". > DrakX is just doing some more configuration that you can > do on your own (?) Right, again, that I want it to do. I was hoping for a "Mandrake installed" system. I will not gain very much credibility with reporting things like my Galeon/Mozilla hangs when I don't even go through the motions of the installer. b. -- Brian J. Murrell
