| + | ===== Testing changes ===== | ||
| + | In order to test your changes without building a whole new CD, you can test Anaconda on your local system. To do so, go to the folder where your local build is and type: | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | <file>sudo ./anaconda --test -T -m http://ftp.pld-linux.org/dists/th/ | ||
| + | </file> | ||
| + | You can also test the graphic mode using: | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | <file>sudo ./anaconda --test -G -m http://ftp.pld-linux.org/dists/th/ | ||
| + | </file> | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Installing a chroot ===== | ||
| + | To install into a chroot, pass the ''-r'' command line switch: | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | <file>anaconda -G -m http://ftp.pld-linux.org/dists/th/ -r /path/to/chroot | ||
| + | </file> | ||
| + | This will skip the partitioning steps and proceed with software selection and package installation. | ||
