I do something like this: for x in /*; do if [ ${x} != "/usr" ]; then tar zcf ${x}.tar ${x} fi done
for x in /usr/*; do tar zcf /usr_`basename ${x}`.tar ${x} done Then you save those files to another medium [i.e. cd, or another host or hard drive or something] format your root fs with the new fs, and copy those files back and untar. Livecd: mkfs.ext3 /dev/node mount /dev/node /mnt/gentoo cd /mnt/gentoo [copy files here...] for x in *.tar.gz; do tar zxf ${x} done That's pretty much it.
