I'm considering experimenting with other file systems, JFS in particular. I |
| 2 |
want to use a spare disk area and install an exact duplicate of my present |
| 3 |
system, which lives in ext3. |

The straightforward way seems to be to copy the world file from the current |
| 6 |
system to the new one (after finishing a basic installation using the |
| 7 |
standard methods) and running "emerge -uaDvN world". Is this likely to run |
| 8 |
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 |
| 11 |
new one, but I think I'd feel happier installing into place. Seems cleaner, |
| 12 |
somehow. |
