You are correct in what you are saying. I'm just sort of chewing on |
| 29 |
this apple a little at a time. I plan to copy my world file over to the |
| 30 |
backup section and build it there or just backup my current install |
| 31 |
one. I'm sure it can be done on my current install so I may bite on |
| 32 |
that instead. I'm just sort of a chicken on some things. The last gcc |
| 33 |
upgrade really made me nervous. Speaking of, I need to sync again if I |
| 34 |
can get my nerve up again. lol I haven't updated in a while and we all |
| 35 |
know how Gentoo hates that. ;-) |

I'm going to find that link again that someone posted. It is for the |
| 38 |
stage4 how to. I forgot to bookmark it but I got the email here still. |

Oh, I actually plan to boot from the CD and restore from a DVD. I got |
| 41 |
me a DVD burner a while back. That works a LOT better. |
