 |
|
Hello, I got two hardware questions.
First: I just got a new mouse since my old one got broken. I bought this one:
http://www.mysilvercrest.de/
Now it's got some extra buttons, aside from the standard ones (middle, wheel, right, left). How do I make those work, and do something?
Second: My hard drive's been making a strange noise lately, I fear it's dying.
I'm gonna order a new hard drive, and I've already backed up most of my essential stuff. This hard drive has ext2fs on /boot and ext3fs as /. I'm wondering if it's possible to install Reiser4 on the new hard drive, maybe make some changes to my gentoo installation on this hard drive, and just copy _everything_ over from this one to the new one. (I wanna try reiser4, if that's impossible to do, then I'll just use ext3 like usual.)
I don't wanna reinstall Gentoo from scratch, because that takes forever and a half.

That should be possible. Boot from a live-cd, mount your partitions and copy your stuff (dont forget -p, maybe read man cp first)
