> How do you install from the DVD with GRML's assistance? > While running GRML from the live CD, I first do mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3 which already has the ext3 file system. I then do mkdir tmp go inside tmp and do mkdir hdimage This is where I download the DVD image. The installer seems to require this directory, unless I'm doing something wrong. With the download completed and check via sha1sum, I unmount the partition and reboot with the FC6 rescue CD. After the CD spins for a few seconds, I type text askmethod speakup_synth=ltlk and go from there. I choose custom layout for partitioning to give partitions the mount points I want for them, and sometimes reformat the boot and root ones. (I'm installing from the home one, and the installer has the brains not to ask about reformatting it.) I get a few more questions, then that bad boy rocks and rolls, and I finish with the steps that ensure I'll get speech on the reboot. If that's not enough info, please let me know.
