## About overwrite install
The OVERWRITEINSTALL parameter allow you to use an existing logical volume as root volume of the new installation.
This is very danger because of the several aspect like, destroying wrong volume and security. But sometimes it is
very useful.
For example, if you reboot the system at the end of GUI/TUI installer by mistake, your system will never boot again.
In this case, the overwrite install recycle this "bad" logical volume and let your system boot again.
To use the overwrite install, you have to set the as following :
- ERASEALL : 0
- OVERWRITEINSTALL : 1
And set following parameters as same as previous installation.
- LVROOTNAME
- VGNAME
- CRYPTPARTNAME
So, Kaitenyaki will leave the "bad" logical volume and allow you to overwrite it by GUI/TUI installer.
## First stage : Setting up the volumes ## First stage : Setting up the volumes
After you set the configuration parameters correctly, execute the following command from the shell. Again, you have to be promoted as root user, and you have to use Bash.
