[rhn-users] aternative install

[Violeta Gotcheva]

What I really would like is to instal RHEL on the second 
disk while the system is working normally i.e. dhcp, samba 
and all other services are active. If there is a way to 
start the installation program from the cd while the 
system is booted off the first disk, this will do the 
trick. I was able to do such an install for Mac OS X but I 
did not find anything like this for RHEL.
