Install from custom iso? #10

Closed leonardas103 closed 8 years ago

Would it be possible install from any iso? So instead of -d [distro] use some -o /path/to/iso ? Would be nice if you can use chrx to install RemixOS.

If you have an ISO, can't you simply boot from it?

Chrx is an installer, but ISOs have their own installers to deliver their payloads according to the rules set up in the program. Unfortunately, there's no way for chrx to know what any specific ISO's installer would do with the ISO content.

Ok then, would this work to install Remix OS alongside a chrx installed OS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/remix-os-installation-rooting-t3293769

Does a chrx installed OS use grub?

reynhout commented 8 years ago

I don't know whether those instructions will work, but yes: chrx does install GRUB as a boot manager.
