I always install a new fedora at home by doing the install in a virtual machine, then doing a guestmout of the VM image and using rsync to copy everything to an empty partition on my "real" machine (usually the one that has the two fedoras ago release installed on it which I clear out first). I note the blkid values from inside the virtual machine and grep -R for those UUIDs in the copied image (mostly find them in /boot and /etc). That tells me the UUIDs to edit to fix things so it will boot in the new partition. A few other things need fixing as well, but then I can boot using the "configfile" option in grub from the nice stand alone grub partition I have just to boot other partitions. Just installed f34 this way, seem to work fine (still tweaking the install to make it useful though). I do turn off selinux through all this. If I wanted to turn it back on I'd look up how to force it to relabel everything on boot. _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
