I have an rsync tree of rawhide on a local f8 partition. I would like to install rawhide to another partition. Is there a way without generating iso images?
I would think so.
I can boot from a cd containing the boot.iso, but it seems there is no menu for this situation.
Just add vmlinuz and initrd.img from the current installation images to your f8 boot partition and make a corresponding grub entry. Boot this and that should get you anaconda running with a root on a ramdisk.
It should be a sort of nfs in method, but using as a target the local tree top on a local partition....
I did not look yet at the latest anaconda but it used to have among installation methods "from a local disk partition" (or something to that effect). That is what you are trying to find.
