I'd like to see that too, and I don't see why it can't be done. Firstly, in this instance, you'd be working from an already working installation. Some computers are less than brilliant to use when booted from a DVD-ROM, or just won't do it. So, in this regard, it ought to be easier. The rest of the install - choosing packages, unpacking files to disc, oughtn't to really care what environment it was working in. Though, doing it from a running OS might mean that there was less spare RAM to compute with, than a simpler booted installer routine. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.5-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Apr 20 20:28:39 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
