Greetings
	Im wondering if anyone has every had the experience trying to install a dist 
without the installer.  My scenario is i have a large 60gb disk with about 10 
partitions.  Ideally I would like to install a different linux dist to each 
partition for packaging.  Currently I reboot and install the dist using the 
install cds, the only problem with this is Rh and MDK installer try their 
hardest to take over the system and niavely assume that their install and 
windows are the only two dists there.  Google got me about 100 how-tos for 
installing linux dists via the installer, but none for installing without the 
compiler.

	Does anyone know of any scripts or ways to glean enough information to do a 
chroot /blah rpm -ivh <rpmlist> ? on a particular partition?

	Thanks
	-ian reinhart geiser
