From: M A Young No you don't. Use rpm --root /mnt/rootfs ... ahhh a good tip, thank you, as well as --dbpath i see. However thats currently failing, and i am trying to catch the error to debug. On another note, is there any way around the INIT errors, when i reboot the machine into runlevel 5 i get: INIT: Id '1' respawning too quickly disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id '2' respawning too quickly disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id '3' respawning too quickly disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id '4' respawning too quickly disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id '5' respawning too quickly disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id '6' respawning too quickly disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id 'x' respawning too quickly disabled for 5 minutes INIT: there are no more processes in this runlevel and after 5 minutes or so, it repeats. I can get in and set inittab to runlevel 1 or 2 even, but still get the respawn errors. Any ideas how to get around that? Thanks
