(none for RedHat9 that I'm aware of) Here are the mechanisms I know and their requirements. I plan to put this in the Wiki as soon as it goes live (if it's not already there): Gentoo ------------- Requirements: wget Note: See http://www.gentoo.org for additional mirrors ]# MIRROR=http://mirror.usu.edu/mirrors/gentoo ]# VERSION=2004.3 ]# wget ${MIRROR}/releases/x86/2004.3/stages/i686/stage3-i686-${VERSION}.tar.bz2 ]# tar xfj stage3-i686-${VERSION}.tar.bz2 ]# mount -obind /dev dev ]# mount -obind /proc proc ]# chroot . ]# env-update ]# source /etc/profile ]# emerge sync && emerge portage Debian ------------ Requirements: debootstrap (http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/debootstrap) and perhaps apt ]# TARGET=sid ]# debootstrap ${TARGET} . Fedora ------------ Requirements: yum (Don't know how to install this on non-Fedora systems) ]# yum --installroot=. -y groupinstall Base SuSE --------- Does anyone know a distro-neutral way to install a SuSE root?
