Hi, |

My problem: |
| 4 |
I try to reinstall Gentoo over an existing Gentoo installation. My |
| 5 |
provider has changed to DHCP, so I have no inet connection from the old |
| 6 |
system (there was no reason to install something DHCP related). |
| 7 |
There is a lot of data on the disk (1 big partition plus swap and boot) |
| 8 |
cca 3 GB in my home, cca 2 GB in oracle's home and cca 4 GB in the home |
| 9 |
of a user ``tester``. |
| 10 |
My old system is experimental, I planned to change to stable for a long |
| 11 |
time already. |
| 12 |
I do not have a DVD burner. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
How do I want to solve it: |
| 15 |
Start the live-CD, mount the old root partition and delete everything |
| 16 |
except /home and /opt. |
| 17 |
Install the new system without repartitioning it and without formatting |
| 18 |
the partitions (I'm happy with these I have ;). |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Is there a way to do this with 2006.0? There was a way with older Gentoo |
| 21 |
versions, with Slack, with LFS ... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Excuse me that I don't search the forums. I'm connected now using the |
| 24 |
live-CD. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
BTW: I have inet connection after booting from the live-cd. This is gone |
| 27 |
away after starting an as-if-install. |
| 28 |

Thanks for any help |
