I'd like to try installing debian from an iso file but not burn a disc. Google turns up actual piles of reports and instructions for doeing that, but as I plow thru I'm finding they all (so far) seem to expect the user is installing debian on a windows machine.
I'm already running a linux machine. I want to install on it. Years and years ago I was able to do that on redhat... but I haven't run read hat for something like 10 years. Can anyone direct me to some documentation that does not assume I'm installing from a windows machine but spells out how to plop a debian iso somewhere, reboot and install from it when the machine is already running debian. Or any other way to proceed without burning a disc. Or running a live cd or etc. I have no cdrom available currently. Some one is sure to say... why not just upgrade? I don't want to take that route because my current debian box suffers from months and yrs of major and ill-informed experimentation, massive blunders and in general being piloted by a moron knowing just enough to be dangerous. It is in a sorry state at this point. I'm convinced if an install from an iso with no burned disc is possible it will prove easier and way less time consuming. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
