To start a package installed on HD
 

Hi folks,

FC3
LFS LiveCD

Would it be possible from LiveCD to evoke a package installed on HD ?

LFS LiveCD only has basic packages installed unable to read .pdf and .doc/.rtf files. I imagine whether I can evoke OpenOffice/Xpdf/Acrobat_Reader from the LiveCD. They are installed on FC3 HD

I performed following test without success.

OOwriter is evoked on FC3 with;
/usr/bin/oowriter

While running LFS LiveCD
On console
# su -
# mkdir /mnt/hd2
# mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/hd2
# cd /mnt/hd2
# chroot /
# /usr/bin/ could not locate "oowriter". It seemed disappeared.

Is there any method. TIA

This most likely won't work since it tells you in the error that it can't find /usr/bin oowriter since it reads the path in which it resides in to locate other bits and necessary libraries in order to run the program. I'd have to say less complex executables like scripts and such that don't depend on any type of path to run will work though.

Hi trickykid,

Tks for your advice.

Could you please provide more detail. Or pointers would be appreciated. TIA
