These make it easy to use smaller drives as backup media. When RC4 came out I installed it on a 4 TB drive using an older E6550 machine. At my leisure I added lots of apps and libs that I normally use. Then I slipped that drive in my omen.com server and changed the boot order to boot that drive. I changed hostname and domainname, restored some of my control files, and omen.com was back on the air relatively quickly. I was fortunate this procedure worked as netinst was unable to install RC4 while running on the server. This "trick" depends on Fedora apparently being able to make modest adjustments to the machine environment on boot up. Is this a valid procedure?A "valid procedure?" Hmm.. Sounds like a eclectic procedure and situation to me.My concern is wether this procedure results in a kernel that is less optimized for the CPU it is running on than if Fedora had been installed directly on that machine. I don't know enough about Fedora installation to know what, if any, processor related optimizations are made in the install instead of boot time.More clearly said? Name two other people with your situation please. I have a working F19 installation on a box with a Haswell processor. It would be good if I could clone that, boot the clone on a box with an older Intel processor (though also a quad core 64 bit processor) and make minor changes. I suspect that there will be more than 3 people interested. Cheers, Gavin |
