1 In the section abut installing piggyback from an existing distro, you should
2 add that a separate partition is not absolutely required. A user can build
3 Gentoo in a subdirectory, and then boot from a bootdisc, delete the old
4 system and move the files in the chroot dir to root.

6 This requires a bootdisc (and thus a burner), but eliminates the effectual
7 downtime of a day or so while the system is bootstrapping from a cd.
