3) Mount the empty rootdir for the new installation and install the rpm

package list has to be "dependancy-complete"), but yum and apt-for-rpm
can:
rpm --root $ROOTDIR $COMPLETE_LIST_OF_RPM_PACKAGES
yum --installroot $ROOTDIR $LIST_OF_RPM_PACKAGES
apt-get -o RPM::RootDir=$ROOTDIR $LIST_OF_RPM_PACKAGES
After doing so, create/edit the usual files (fstab, hosts, resolv.conf,
inittab, network-configuration, ...), rename /lib/tls, umount & boot.
I install all my RH/FC/CentOS VMs with apt-get.
OK. Thus there are basically two ways of installing
Linux-based dom-Us (booting a pre-generated image or
bootstrapping via net-install/apt-get).
BTW: Can Gentoo be bootstrapped like this?
But how can Net- and FreeBSD be installed (on a
Linux-based dom-0)? Since I've downloaded the Demo-CD,
I've seen, that it's possible.
I guess, that the *BSD-images, which are included on the
Demo-Cd, can be used for "normal" installations as well,
right (although on the Demo-CD these are cow-volumes)?
