The live image is its own OS, and has nothing to do with the installed OSs. So, you have to mount the installed image someplace, and then either cd there or chroot there, in order to do anything to the installed OS. I vaguely recall that /mnt/sysimage used to be used for this automatically. e.g. mount /dev/sd1 /mnt/sysimage where /dev/sd1 is the partition that contains the / of the installed system. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
