Before someone tries this and finds a problem, I should point out that I have done this on an IDE system using ext2 filesystems and booting with 'linux text'. On systems with scsi, ext3, reiserfs, raid, etc. it will probably fail unless you do a little work and manage to provide modules built for the boot kernel. Updates disk, perhaps? I just did another install to verify that it worked, and the only problem I found was that the NIC wasn't found at install time, probably because the driver couldn't be loaded. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3} in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj1XCQ8ACgkQn/07WoAb/StqKwCdHBo4znDwrBbEc2vG9ihXayr8 o9QAnRRg+JC96ektPFof/Cw07UyrFrPr =LThz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
