Install to hard drive

  • Sorry if this is obvious or has been asked already but I cannot find a clear answer on by searching the forum. I want to install LibreELEC onto my hard drive and add an entry to grub to boot it. Everything I read is about running it from a removable drive. Can I install LE alongside my current Linux distro?

  • Sure you can, but you'll need to set things up manually.

    1. Extract the .tar of the build you want and place KERNEL/SYSTEM into your /boot
    2. Set up a GRUB entry to use LE's KERNEL with these arguments: "boot=/dev/sdaX disk=/dev/sdaY quiet tty"

    sdaX = your /boot partition which should contain the SYSTEM file
    sdaY = an empty partition that will be used for LE's /storage
