Can rpm handle an install of another OS into another Logical Volume

I am trying to install fedora as a domU under a CentOS dom0 using the method outlined in The Book of Xen,louis vuitton bags. I have asked another question regarding a consistent error message of cpio: Bad magic when I try to run the rpm command on a fedora-release-15,louis vuitton outlet.1 rpm. That tutorial actually goes through an install of CentOS 5.2 into the logical volume. If I run wget on a similar CentOS install rpm then run the rpm -i command (as outlined) it works fine,louis vuitton canada.

So what is it about rpm and fedora under CentOS 5.6 that would cause an issue? running the --test option returns the following:

What do these failed dependencies mean? Is it even possible to do what I am trying to do (install fedora on a separate LV in an active CentOS system)? Is it possible to update these dependencies in my system? or is it time to call it quits on this particular path,www.lvcanadaoutletstore.com.

Using the rpm tool manually, you will not be able to install an individual package like that to a new location. Every package will have dependencies on other packages, and rpm will refuse to procede until all those dependencies are met. With a blank directory like that, you will need at least a minimum set of packages that make up a complete system.

In order to procede, you will need to add enough packages to your command line to satisfy these dependencies. Instead of doing one package at a time, you will put together an RPM command with a whole series of packages on it.

This is where upper level package managers like yum come into play,lv bags. They dig through the rpm meta data finding dependencies, download those files, and add them to the chain of rpm commands.

I don't know about yum, but the upper level rpm package manger I use is able to do a target install like this and take care of the dependencies behind the scenes. You might look for an "instll-dist" or "root" type argument to yum and use that instead of rpm directly.Related articles:
