Someone should probably script this up, I just don't know what the easiest way to add the entry to lilo.conf is. Then, maybe someone would be kind enough to put the script in the cooker tree and make this easier for everyone ... Of course, it would only need on argument, location of cooker tree, unless of course it is run from within a cooker tree. One wonders if it would work (as root) by double-clicking in Konq etc. Hmm .. > > [root@pc boot]# diff /etc/lilo.conf /etc/lilo.conf.svg > 69,76d68 > < image=/boot/hd_img/vmlinuz > < label=ins_hd_img_hdb5 > < root=/dev/ram3 > < initrd=/boot/hd_img/hd.rdz > < ramdisk=32000 > < vga=791 > < > append="automatic=method:disk,disk:hdb,par:hdb5,dir:/devel/cooker/i586" > < read-only > [root@pc boot]# lilo > Added linux * > Added linux-nonfb > Added failsafe > Added floppy > Added ins_hd_img_hdb5 You could always do a 'lilo -R ins_hd_img_hdb5' here to ensure you boot into the install .... > [root@pc boot]# reboot > > > > Thanks again for Buchan Milne to start this contribution. > > > > I have try to add expert in append string like > > append="expert > automatic=method:disk,disk:hdb,par:hdb5,dir:/devel/cooker/i586" > > but "automatic install" feature fail on two newer question "Third party > modules" and "Scsi access" > > does anybody know the string to realize "automatic install" in expert mode. > I haven't tried installing cooker recently, my setup was for 9.0 ...
