Does gNS support something like single-user mode which would enter a
root shell instead of running X and some other services?
I use these commands to enter a parkes chroot:
mount /mnt/gns
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gns/dev
mount -o bind /dev/pts /mnt/gns/dev/pts
mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gns/proc
mount -o bind /sys /mnt/gns/sys
chroot /mnt/gns su - mtjm
The first one would be usually replaced by e.g. "mount /dev/sda1
/mnt/gns", it's useful to check /mnt/gns/etc/fstab to see which other
file systems should be mounted.
To use it as root the last line should be "chroot /mnt/gns /bin/bash".
Then "source /etc/profile" would be useful, the LiveCD might use
environment variables not appropriate for the chroot (my most common
problem with specific-use chroots without some localization packages).
To have working network, /etc/resolv.conf should be edited, e.g. by
copying this file from the LiveCD.
(Maybe we should document it on the wiki if it works?)
