[Astlinux-announce] Please test: New AstLinux install script

[Kristian K. <kki...@st...>]

Hello everyone,

  I'm disappointed we haven't done a release in so long.  We've been
working to develop the interactions between Runnix and AstLinux but
have not yet figured out the best way to install Runnix+AstLinux based
systems.

  We've been working on  a script to do just that.  The idea is
simple.  Boot from the AstLinux Live CD and install AstLinux to disk
from the console.  I've built a CD image with this enabled and I would
like for some of you to test it, if possible.

  Standard warnings apply:  We haven't been able to test this on much
hardware.  Make sure you are prepared to lose ALL of the data on your
machine before even running this script.  We're pretty sure it will
work perfectly but just in case...

  Anyways here's the ISO with the install script:

http://astbuild.star2star.com/astlinux-trunk-1820.iso

  After booting simply log in as root and run:

astinstall

  Remember to eject the CD before the machine boots back up.  It
should boot Runnix+AstLinux.  Let me know if you have any suggestions,
problems, etc.  If everything goes well you can expect to see and
AstLinux release shortly.

Thanks!

P.S. - Sorry for the cross post but I wanted to get as many eyes on
this as possible.
