Re: [Trisquel-users] netinstall? possible?

[nowaman]

Here's the acrobatics I use from time to time. It requires no CD's, no USB's.  
Just a working GNU/Linux system and an internet connection via ethernet card  
that Trisquel supports.

0. I boot to an already working GNU/Linux system
1. I download the Netinst-CD.
2. I mount the CD image to /mnt/loop.
3. I copy the /mnt/loop/linux to /boot/vmlinuz-new
4. I copy the /mnt/loop/initrd.gz to /boot/initrd.img-new
5. I update-grub.
6. I select the linux-new kernel, which I just copied from the CD image.
7. I install Trisquel. It installs right away from the network just like  
you'd do with a Netinst-CD.
