 |
|
I have a backup script that backs up the important portage/world files and essentially I want to use the latest 1.4rc2 livecd to boot, start a fresh install and then uncompress the backup files (from a CD) overtop of the fresh install ones and resync portage and then remerge world. But unfortunately I can't seem to be able to switch CDs after booting Gentoo 1.4r2.
Is there an easier way to do what I'm doing and how is it possible to switch CDs from the install? |

umount /dev/cdrom
<put in other CD>
mount /dev/cdrom

| The Gentoo installation uses cloop. If it was as simple as unmounting I would've figured it out by now. |
