I suggest booting from a Gentoo CD. Make a tarball of the entire FS you want to convert and either pipe it across the network or onto another HD you can put in this machine. Reformat the partition. Untarball the backup onto the newly formatted partition. You also need to make sure you alter your fstab to mount the partition right (and alter your grub or other boot config files accordingly as well). -- Justin Patrin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
