You don't really want a non-journaled fs! g2 recommends a /boot partition, but you do not have to use one. You could also split your area into 5g for the / partition and 5g for a /home partion before you start. In this case you would mount it similar to the recommended /boot partiton. You don't really need to worry much about the environment, if your current environment supports communications. Just follow the instructions about untarring the g2 stuff to your new / partition, mounting /proc, copying resolv.conf, and chrooting. From this point on, your work in the chroot environment will be relatively unrelated to your current system. As long as you do the chroot stuff from another console or an Xterm, you can continue to use your system while the chroot stuff chugs away in the background. Good luck. -- Collins -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
