#238565 — Root in /target : how change it?

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi again.
How use chroot (in terminal) to place Root in /dev/sda1(147gb)
(if that is the better place for it)?
My impression of root in /target is that it isn't easy to find for PC. (Why
the installation system "commits suicide" this way so often must be a
'square mind'?)
A dysfunctional soldier, saying: 'If u don't give countable orders, I'll
translate them to "Dig a hole & stay in it until I maybe save u."
Why you accepted this 35 years?
BR,
Gunnar Gervin, trolly but no troll.

You need a fundamental course in Linux. There are such not very expensive
courses, or you educate your self (before you start using something you
read the instructions right? The fact that linux does not physically
explode, does not mean it can not explode :) ). After you know the basics,
it would be easier for you and for people on the mailing list to help you
solve issues.
I do not speak for the rest here, but your questions are at least for me
nonsense. Perhaps someone would be willing to help andeducate you, but for
me you can even not formulate an understandable question.

If you put a system in chroot environment. This means the system is designed
to run in this chroot environment. It is absolutely not clear, what you
want to achieve (the context is missing).

IMO you need to learn a lot. But no worries, everybody here learned Linux
and Unix in the one or another way.

I don't understand what your question is. Or even /if/ you have any
question at all.

Let me try: if your question is "why, during install, the root of
the system being installed is mounted under /target?" the answer
would be that the installer is running under an operating system
(it's easier that way), and this one has already a root, so that
place is already occupied :-)

Once install is done, /target becomes the new root.

Operating systems are not humans (much less soldiers). I have no
clue what you want to convey with this metaphor. If you try to help
me, I'll try again.
