Hi, all --
Lo,
I have a tricky machine -- no CD, no video, no keyboard, no floppy -- on which I'd nonetheless like to install SuSE 8.1. The machine is currently running a Linux From Scratch build, and I have an alternate root slice ready to go with plenty of space in /home for a copy of the DVD.
How about you make a bootp combined install server and PXE boot over the network instead? That ought to be one of the better ways to install that box.
Any idea how I can proceed? Can I perhaps do a little chroot magic and start the install?
Possibly. You would have to investigate what the bootimage and initrd on
the DVD actually does, and then mimic that.
Rgds,
