sorry, I don't know is this the exact wording in english (I
translate from the french yast)

there is an option to "install to a directory" in yast.

What exactly do this option?

I would like to install the new 10.1 on a server with the
minimal stopping of it.

may I do the initial install with this option? of course
restarting will be needed for final :-)

thanks

Say you create a new partition ,and mounted it somewhere , and you
want to install Suse-10 into it ,without rebooting from you running
OS. so You choose Install to directory in yast2 and point it to the
directory,which by default is /var/tmp/dirinstall ,I found this
situation most usefull when I wanted to run Xen-3.0 my SUSE-10 box
which is buggy if done directly thro' Yast2->XEN. I installed into a
dircetory ,and started Xend ,and booted it as guest domain.
