How big is gentoo_usr.tgz? What's the rest on /dev/hda2? |

What's on /dev/hda3 now? How big is it? What's on /dev/hda1? |
| 12 |
Can't you move the gentoo_usr.tgz to another roomier partition? |

If I get it right, /dev/hda3 is destined to become your /, |
| 15 |
and /dev/hda2 your /usr/portage. Have you already upacked the rest |
| 16 |
of / on /dev/hda3? How about retarring it and untarring it after |
| 17 |
gentoo_usr.tgz? |

Yes, but GNU tar cannot do that, it can only do one command at a |
| 25 |
time, either --extract or --delete or ... |
