Thread: Has anyone started Ubuntu from init switch?


ultimately, need install ubuntu in customized way on machine won't have physical access to. have bootable usb memory stick can login remote. ideal have install ubuntu on local machine, , replicate hard drive on remote machine via being logged in bootable usb memory stick.

here's issue. i'd able boot on installed ubuntu system while usb memory stick still in place. i'm thinking of 1 of these possibilities:

1. reconfigure init to, instead of halting system when shuts down, mount root partition of installed hard drive system root, , execute init program in place of current 1 in pid 1.

2. use kexec boot whole new kernel (from hard drive).

installing 12.04 lts desktop version (because needs have x server running) when comes out (can test betas before then). usb memory stick has modified slackware64 13.37 on it.
