Let me be slightly more concrete. I plan to: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
download a stage3 tar ball |
| 14 |
unroll the tar ball on my ex-root partition |
| 15 |
(follow the handbook) |
| 16 |
chroot |
| 17 |
emerge --sync |
| 18 |
copy over my /etc from my backups |
| 19 |
rebuild toolchain |
| 20 |
mount my /var partition |
| 21 |
emerge -e world |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Is there any obvious flaws in that? |
