Hi.
I'm trying to get slackware installed remotely on a server.
Just so this doesn't turn into a "why are you doing this" thread... I have a slack server running currently and have created installable packages out of my custom compiled stuffz. I now need to move this server to an ev1 server i rented, which came with redhat enterprise and 715 packages installed.

Basically, I want to kill the redhat and run slack. I've found a few articles that get me half way there, but some things are missing. The jist of it is:
create a tmp partition.
put a kernel and initrd.img in the tmp.
Download the base slack packages needed to feed to the installer.
chroot the tmp partion and get things setup.
Config grub to boot into the tmp partition.
Kill redhat and copy over slack to the original partition.
reconfigure grub to boot back into the original partition.

All of this sounds great, but I can't seem to figure out how to run the installer.
Obviously I can't just reboot and let the installer run because i'm doing all of this over ssh.

Can anyone help me figure out how to get slack installed with ssh into the tmp partition?

since i can't post url's yet, you'll have to google to find the two docs i've been working from. using the keywords below, they will be the fist links:
search 1: Install GNU/Linux without any CD
search 2: HOWTO - Install Debian Onto a Remote Linux System

Thanks!
