Is there any way to install Fedora, using either anaconda or yum or something else, to a separate partition or chroot path, on a system while it is currently running and booted into Fedora? I realize you can't safely upgrade a currently installed system while it is running, but I want to install and/or upgrade a *separate* copy than the one that is currently running. I was thinking of something along the lines of what revisor does to create a Live media image, or what mach does to create a buildroot, or what virt-manager/virt-install does to install a Xen guest, but instead I just want to create a regular Fedora install that I can then boot the real system into after it is done installing. I realized that I might need to manually tweak the bootloader, etc. e.g. something along these lines would be excellent, where I have already created the blank filesystems and mounted them under /mnt/new-fedora-root: anaconda --root=/mnt/new-fedora-root
you can try using yum's installroot option .. the revisor ppl might know more about what to yum first to make a basic system.. I usually use this to create a basic console system .. yum --installroot=<root directory> install yum rootfiles bind-utils gnupg vim-enhanced vixie-cron crontabs passwd which kudzu dhclient pciutils eject alsa-utils mkisofs wget bzip2 zip screen prelink
