Hi! Is it possible to use dpkg to install debian packages to an other filesystem as /root?
I might need to install a new base system onto a free partition in order to get my broken debian system fixed without to much hassle. I would then like to boot this base system and install working base packages over the broken ones in my broken system. I therefore want to mount this broken system under e.g. /I-am-a-idiot/ and then tell dpkg to just install the packages there... then installing libreadline2 onto my broken system again might already get it so far that I can boot it. Ideally I would like a way to get it to boot from a rescue discs, but I dont think that this is possible as I have to get the packages from the internet cause the cd-rom drive is broken and I have only Debian 1.2 CD. -- |_| _ |o _ _ Martin Steigerwald | |(/_||(_)_> http://home.pages.de/~helios -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
