I'm considering experimenting with other file systems, JFS in particular. I want to use a spare disk area and install an exact duplicate of my present system, which lives in ext3.
The straightforward way seems to be to copy the world file from the current system to the new one (after finishing a basic installation using the standard methods) and running "emerge -uaDvN world". Is this likely to run me into problems? Perhaps I should prefer "emerge -1 `cat old.world.file`?" Another way would be just to tar up the old partition and untar it onto the new one, but I think I'd feel happier installing into place. Seems cleaner, somehow. -- Rgds Peter Humphrey Linux Counter 5290, Aug 93 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
