Installation attempt.

[Wolf, Robert (ext)]

Hello there over the moon!

I made an attempt to install Lunar yesterday!
Here is a quick report.


1.       I could not find lunar-1.6.5-rc1-i686.iso.bz2

I downloaded lunar-1.6.5-i686.iso.bz2 (I hope it is identical)

2.       Unzipped and created bootable USB stick with it.

3.       Currently I have another linux, which works.

Hence I tried to install Lunar on another USB stick (8 GBytes).

Everything seems to work OK.

Kernel got compiled.

GRUB got installed.

I was asked to create passwords.

Then computer run-out-of-battery.

So, yes, I have to repeat the process again, I think.
But I have a few questions:


1.       Is the kernel version 2.6.something?

If so, will I be able to re-compile the latest version of kernel?

2.       I assume I can install Lunar on a USB stick and keep another linux on hard drive intact. Am I right?

3.       Consequently, I assume that GRUB get installed on USB stick (is this correct)?

4.       Later on, if I decide to keep Lunar and another linux together on HD, will I need to install GRUB?

(well, it is already installed by another linux).

Cheers,

Robert
