my suggestion would be to format the new drive keep your old drive and format different partitions on it and use fstab to mount them on your /usr and /home folders. Example you can mount a 15 gig partition of the new drive /dev/hdb1 to /usr just mount it manually somewhere else and copy the current contents to it first. Then mount another 5 gig to your home drive copy your old files. There is very good documentation in the handbook about drive setup. of course after you get it working you unmount the drives delete the old files then remount them to the correct places /usr /home or however you choose to set them up. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=4

Hi,
I've just been leaving KDE to compile. Just ran out of disk space, only a 4GB drive :( I have a 20GB drive that's coming soon but i'm not entirely sure exactly what I need to do to put the new drive in so I can finish emerging kde and still have a usable system without reformatting etc....
So, anyone give me the quick rundown of what I need to do?
Thanks, James -- [email protected] mailing list
