relatively simple. the general idea is thus: 1. make a directory, say
mkdir /mnt/target 2. untar a stage3 tarball into there, for the architecture you want. 3. mount various directories mount -t proc none /mnt/target/proc mount -o bind /usr/portage /mnt/target/usr/portage cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/target/etc/resolv.conf 4. chroot su chroot /mnt/target /bin/bash then carry on as per the install instructions. Do not reinstall grub as you will screw your existing setup. When finished tar up /mnt/target and transfer to the new machine. setup grub. go. Actually though you would find it easier to use the recent 2005.0 packages cd.
