Re: How to install from images on hd w/o burning them?

In comp.os.linux.hardware serge <serge_mtu@xxxxxxxxxx>:
Hello
say I have linux OS images somewhere on hd.
Can i start installation from images from hd w/o burning them on CD etc?

Mount them in a loop and share them via http/ftp/nfs, burn first
CD, make install floppy or bring PXE kernel into place. And use
it as install server.

If yes what command to use ?

If you mean they images are on the system you want to install?

man cluestick

Good luck
