Subject: [gentoo-user] gentoo install on Dell restore partition... live?
Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 22:31:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080714223103.5969a906@evolone.org> (raw)

So, I finally got the OK to nuke another Dell winbox. My dream is to:

* Partition the restore partition (3.6 GB) for any small linux
installation 

* make that partition active, bootable, with grub installed

* reboot and ssh into that linux machine to finish by toasting NTFS
partition and making it my gentoo system '/' as per usual...

Can this be done without physical access to the machine which is
currently running windows XP? I am administrator and get 'there' via
RDP.

Any suggestions appreciated in advance.

Cheers,
