Hi. I would like to use the text mode installation program (I don't have access to the GUI desktop) to install Fedora Core 3. Unfortunately I encountered few problems. One of those is that I can't partition a LVM vg in text mode - I'm able to define the LVM phisical volume (/dev/hda4), however I would like to add also some partitions to the LVM volume (e.g. /usr, /tmp, /var/log, ... mount points). Is it possible to do it? Another thing I would like to do is install Fedora Core 3 on a remote system. I thought of using tar to make a backup and later extract it another machine booted from Knoppix live CD (I used such a procedure lot of times with Debian). Tar command: ---- tar -c -f bck.tar -p --numeric-owner /* ---- I'm sure that files will be restored correctl ... the problem I see are the modules that should be loaded at boot time. Is there anything similar to kudzu that can be ran on the restored system to prepare an initrd image for booting (I guess that I will need SCSI, ethernet,... preload modules support on boot so that after restarting I will still be able to access the system ;) ).
