|
|
I have a XP machine that I want to set up as dual boot.
I have a knoppix CD to boot it from.
The hardware is pretty close to that of my main Gentoo system
It seems I should be able to just copy across the contents of my system, make a few ajustments to /etc/fstab since the partitions are not layed out the same, then chroot to my new Gentoo to setup grub and finish the job.
Am I being over optomistic or is it sensible.

Sounds good. Its the same as putting a new HD setting up your partiitions and copying your stuff to them. You will have to update your kernel for your new board hardware. _________________ An A-Z Index of the Linux BASH command line |

Thanks,
I'm probably making life harder than it needs to be , I'll just plug my HD in to the new maching since I dont have the two fully networked it will be quicker.
Just wanted to make sure I was not missing somthing important, it seemed too easy.
