 +===== Testing changes =====

 +
 +
 +
 +<​file>​sudo ./anaconda --test -T -m http://​ftp.pld-linux.org/​dists/​th/​
 +</​file>​
 +You can also test the graphic mode using: ​
 +
 +
 +
 +<​file>​sudo ./anaconda --test -G -m http://​ftp.pld-linux.org/​dists/​th/​
 +</​file>​
 +
 +
 +===== Installing a chroot =====
 +To install into a chroot, pass the ''​-r''​ command line switch: ​
 +
 +
 +
 +<​file>​anaconda -G -m http://​ftp.pld-linux.org/​dists/​th/​ -r /​path/​to/​chroot
 +</​file>​
 +This will skip the partitioning steps and proceed with software selection and package installation. ​
