hey all,
I'd like to install debian into a non-/ directory on a server that'll nfs that directory to a bunch of diskless nodes. (booting from floppy or tftp) Ideally I'd like to do this without having to install on a machine, then copy the contents of that drive into the server. Something like dpkg --root=dir --admindir=dir/var/lib/dpkg --instdir=dir etc... but using deselect (from scratch), or even better, through apt (also starting from scratch). I've looked at dselect, and you can set --admindir to point to your copy of the db, and apt has a --config-file option, to point to a different sources list. But I don't see anything about moving the root dir. Is this [easily] possible? thanks, -Gabe _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
