I seemed to have lied - I could have sworn that you could do it, but apparently not. My sincerest apologies about that, because I honest-to-G-d thought you could, and I thought I had done it.
However, if you've got GRUB (should work with LILO), you can still do something really similar very easily. See this: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~colohan/docs/fedora_upgrade.html Again, sorry, I feel very stupid right now. -DMZ On Mon, 2005-09-26 at 16:32 -0400, Ben Stern wrote: > David Zakar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Install some sort of minimalist distro with GRUB onto the computer.
