Let's assume you only have one computer but a second HD: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
What I would do, is pull your existing HD and set it asside; so if you need |
| 14 |
to you can reboot with it, check something, and switch back to the new |
| 15 |
install as needed. Continue with what ever advice you have received |
| 16 |
with the second HD. |

Easily and quickly reversible. |

If/when we have ansible based installs, something like this is almost |
| 22 |
trivial. Maybe (wink wink, nudge nudge) we'll get a new install semantic. |

Holy jeepers, batman, we do we do! |

First build up a usbstick with gentoo (~arch) |

| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Then use persistence (the precious?) to make savable changes? |

NO second HD need, just a 16Gb usbstick (or larger) usb3 really helps! |
