11 I cannot tell you that, but if you can create all the partitions, you
12 can copy the kernel from the livecd (using network, maybe) or any
13 other prebuilt kernel to the boot partition, initialize the boot
14 recort (using grub or whatever) and then boot the system.

16 You can also plug the harddisk in another pc to do the installation.
