hi,

i'm trying to install whitebox remotely.  anyone done that?

knoppix3.4 is running from CD, i'm connected via VNC, i've partitioned
the disk and downloaded whitebox-respin1, now i want to proceed with
install under remote control.

my intention is to run anaconda in a chroot.  i did this with rh9. 
perhaps something has changed, or perhaps i've dropped a detail..

i've loop mounted boot.iso, and unzipped and loop mounted initrd.  it
seems to be a nice wee filesystem, but conspicuously absent from its
content is /usr.  so just where is /usr/bin/sh supposed to come from?

anyone done this?  what am i missing?  pointers welcome.

tia,
greg
