1) Is one of the FC4 cds bootable?
2) Can you shutdown your target machine?
3) How old is your version of Bash?

1. yes  1 cd is bootable
2.  yes i can shut ut down
3 i use debain/sarge is that ok.


 - use rpm with the --root= option to get the packages
  installed into a dir

 - use UML or QEMU or some full system emulator to
  install the CDs in a virtual machine and copy the
  resulting installing into a directory - adjust/adapt (or just trick) the CD installer into

 

  isntalling FC4 on a separate dir/partition

 - setup a repository (apt-rpm, yum) to install from
  and use the util-vserver tools to install a guest
  from scratch (which is the preferred way)

i did try to ue apt-rpm but could not figure i out. do i have to install somethings on debian to use apt-rp/ there is not such package in the debian stable main.


Well, as Herbert said, find out how to make the
installer do the installation into the directory that
you created with the "vserver <name> build"
command rather than the entire disk system.

i  have downlaoded a mandeake tar from http://free.oszoo.org/download.html . i tried to install install it but i got a few error.
could you tell me how to create an empty vserver so that i can copy the mandrake installation in the tar over to that file by mounting the image.
