So you want to reinstall? |
| 29 |
Right now you have an arch system and want the new one to be ~arch? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
1. Have enough free disk space to hold the entire new install |
| 32 |
2. Create partitions/disks/volumes/whatever for the new system |
| 33 |
3. Follow the Gentoo install docs and install into this new volume |
| 34 |
4. Copy all portage config files (/etc/portage/*, world) to new system |
| 35 |
5. Chroot into new system as normal |
| 36 |
6. Cleanup/remove old system. How to do this is left as an exercise for |
| 37 |
the reader. |
