Here's a trick someone taught me today: Install VMWare on your current
system. Create a virtual machine under VMWare with your target drive as
the vm's hda drive. Boot the install cd (or iso image) on the virtual
machine and install from there.
I'd like to cut out the middle man if I could though. Is it not
possible to mount a CD drive and simply run the install process from
the command line? In an ideal world, I wouldn't even have to do this
as root, preventing accidental erasure of the host operating system.
