I'm building a super-lightweight system from bits I have lying about my bedroom.
I have the Suse 9.1 professional installation discs, but I wanted to try installing it from my current system (to save me having to put a CD drive in the lightweight system). The way I was planning to do this was to:
- Plug a spare HDD into my current system
- Install Suse onto that HDD, but without the details of the system that's doing the installing (as it wouldn't be the one using the OS)
- Put the HDD into the lightweight system
- Boot from that HDD
In YAST I have found an "Install into directory" option under the "software" category. If I mount the HDD and do an install into directory onto the HDD, will that work?
Does anybody understand me? It's getting quite late... :P .
I've never attempted anything like this before.
