I should know how to do this but so many changes have happened |
| 2 |
recently and I haven't done anything like this for a very long time. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
My desktop version of gentoo is pretty far out of date. And I think |
| 5 |
there have been enough changes that I don't even want to try to get it |
| 6 |
cleaned up. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Rather, I'd like to build up a newly installed gentoo to the point |
| 9 |
where it has all the stuff I want. But do it inside a vmware virtual |
| 10 |
machine. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I'm trying to keep my working desktop in place until such time as the |
| 13 |
vmware gentoo setup is ready |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Once that install is up to speed with all my preferred apps in place. |
| 16 |
And any kinks worked out... |
| 17 |
Only then use it to overwrite my desktop OS. Or reformat that disk |
| 18 |
and move the vmware gentoo version to it. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The vmware gentoo would be guest on a windows XP pro machine. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I'd like to hear any comments concerning what problems I might run |
| 23 |
into or whether the plan is likely to be a serious mess. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Also wouldn't mind seeing a rough outline of how to make that kind of |
| 26 |
move. |
