install Remix OS to harddisk (like android-x86) - Remix OS for PC

Hi all
I run android-x86-5.1 (on EeePC 1000H).
android-x86 offered
'Install Android-x86 to harddisk'
menu when booting from SD.
'android-x86' and 'Remix OS' ISO filesystem content look exactly same (see below)
so: Can the Remix OS ISO please be adjusted to also offer install to harddisk?
I read there are tools to install on HD from Ubuntu or Windows, but I am on android-x86 already...
Code:
ISO content
efi
efi/boot
efi/boot/grub.cfg
efi/boot/TRANS.TBL
efi/TRANS.TBL
initrd.img
install.img
isolinux
isolinux/android-x86.png
isolinux/boot.cat
isolinux/isolinux.bin
isolinux/isolinux.cfg
isolinux/TRANS.TBL
isolinux/vesamenu.c32
kernel
ramdisk.img
system.sfs
TRANS.TBL

The installer is there already, you need to manually tell it to install @ boot time with a kernel command edit i.e. INSTALL=1 DEBUG=

How can I install in hard disk?

---

I went a different way than using the existing installer, probably because I didn't know it existed. I have it set up as a boot option in grub, which wasn't that hard to do:
1.Boot into RemixOS, Resident mode like you would by using a flashdrive
2.Boot back into prefered OS ( Linux will save you some time, as you can't really update grub.cfg from Windows)
3. Create a FAT32 partition , 8GB or more. You can use a label for it, if you want.
4.Add the boot entries to /etc/grub.d/40_custom . This is what mine looks like, for example :
Code:
#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the
# menu entries you want to add after this comment. Be careful not to change
# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry "REMIXOS Resident mode - All your data and apps are saved" {
set root=(hd0,3)
linux /kernel initrd=/initrd.img boot=LABEL=REMIXOS disk=LABEL=REMIXOS quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SRC= DATA= CREATE_DATA_IMG=1 DPI=120 UVESA_MODE=1366x768
initrd /initrd.img
}
menuentry "REMIXOS Guest mode - NO data and apps are saved" {
set root=(hd0,3)
linux /kernel initrd=/initrd.img boot=LABEL=REMIXOS disk=LABEL=REMIXOS quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SRC= DATA= DATA_IN_MEM=1
initrd /initrd.img
}
Obviously, you will need to change out the partitions for your own, and for the DPI and UVESA variables, you can just delete them, as they are set for my screen (1366x768 15.6"), and might look really distorted for you. Of course, you can try tinker with those yourself.

It is quiet simple, but I don't know why is author of Remix OS "hided" installer.
-Prepare one partition on your PC HDD for install Remix OS
-Plug your USB with burned Remix OS in your turned off pc
-Turn on PC
-When GRUB menu loaded (Resident mode, etc...), hit TAB button on your keybord and type:
INSTALL=1
at the and of existing code, than hit the ENTER
-Installer will started, same as Android x86, select your prepared partition for install, and that's it.

No, I never install grub of android x86 or grub of remix or any "similar grub" cause they recognize only Winblows and don't recognize GNU/Linux, and I have 5-6 Linux distros installed on hdd. From other side, Linux grub don't recognize android x86 or remix os. Cause that, after I install android or remix, I boot to my main Linux distro and add entry for android or for remix in /etc/grub.d/40_custom.

Hi!
I have a similar problem too...
Remix OS doen not work on my eeepc 900. I have installed it on the 16 GB SSD modifying
root=/dev/ram0 with root=/dev/sdb1 (my SSD)
and adding INSTALL=1
When the eeepc starts I see grub 1.5, I choose Remis OS but it is not starting. Then I see the same errors you can watch in this picture: http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160201/9574b4a6113671b412096942e994a50a.jpg if I choose to start with DEBUG=1.
Someone can help me?
Sorry for my English.

Just a FYI, in case anyone has missed the recent news, the update coming on March 1 will provide installation on Windows for dual boot and storage.
