/dev/hda3 is the backup/rescue. What I did last time I built a system, |
| 2 |
is used this to build a working system. Put it into service, |
| 3 |
adjust/configure until I am happy. Create the LVM in prep for the main |
| 4 |
install. Copy the rescue system to the LVM and setup grub. reboot into |
| 5 |
the main and go from there. The original is then available as a backup. |

Unless a severe security vul exists, I dont fiddle with it until a major |

I am using a patched for suspend2 kernel (vanilla here, but gentoo |
| 38 |
sources when its available. I do not use genkernel: it has caused me |

too many problems in the past. |
