Hi, I am new to Calculate Linux. I use Gentoo since some years.
Is there a way to install CLD (KDE) from any LiveCD (like RIP or SystemRescueCD), without using the magic of cl-install utility?
In Gentoo I know 100% what happens, when I copy the contents of a Stage3 to my rootfs and setup my bootloader completely on my own.
To complete my Gentoo installation I usually install Syslog, set a root password, edit fstab and boot into my new system.
All those things can be done from every Linux CD or from an already installed Linux system.
In CLD I dislike the need to boot from a CLD DVD and the need to use the magic cl-install. In my opinion, this hides too much details from me, I would like to have control of.
But maybe I only have missed some source of information.
I could not find anything regarding this topic in the Docs / Wiki / Google.
I already tried to copy the contents of the livecd to my rootfs. But after boot, I am already logged in to all consoles. I think it is not the right way. Also the init scripts tried to do some magic things, which I think belong to the Live DVD, and are not appropriate for an installed system. For example doing something with the bootloader.
I am looking forward for any information in this direction.
