Several of my machies have SATA hot swap ports.
These make it easy to use smaller drives as backup media.
When RC4 came out I installed it on a 4 TB drive using an
older E6550 machine. At my leisure I added lots of apps
and libs that I normally use.
Then I slipped that drive in my omen.com server and changed
the boot order to boot that drive. I changed hostname and
domainname, restored some of my control files, and omen.com
was back on the air relatively quickly.
I was fortunate this procedure worked as netinst was unable to
install RC4 while running on the server.
This "trick" depends on Fedora apparently being able to make modest
adjustments to the machine environment on boot up.
Is this a valid procedure?
A "valid procedure?"
Hmm..
Sounds like a eclectic procedure and situation to me.
My concern is wether this procedure results in a kernel that is
less optimized for the CPU it is running on than if Fedora had
been installed directly on that machine.
I don't know enough about Fedora installation to know what,
if any, processor related optimizations are made in the install
instead of boot time.
More clearly said? Name two other people with your situation please.
This a procedure, that I might like to do something like.
I have a working F19 installation on a box with a Haswell processor. It
would be good if I could clone that, boot the clone on a box with an
older Intel processor (though also a quad core 64 bit processor) and
make minor changes.
I suspect that there will be more than 3 people interested.
Cheers,
Gavin
