I think there is some misunderstanding: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Before migration to 64bit: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
/dev/sda3 is mounted on / and contains the 32bit Gentoo |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
/dev/sda10 is mounted on /home/mcc/migration and will contain the |
| 33 |
stuff of the 64bit Gentoo |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
After migration I will *not* mount /dev/sda10 on / but will clear all |
| 36 |
stuff from /dev/sda3 and move the contents from /dev/sda10 to |
| 37 |
/dev/sda3. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Is still valid what you said under this premissions, Wonko? |

Thanks a lot for your help in advance! |
