Ok, setted-up with debootstrap a etch base system to /dev/hda3
(only'/')
Installed a kernel, grub and rebooted to my etch setup.
Runs as a charm :)
But.... how can i copy/move my etch base if i make different
partitions after deleting hda1 ?
/dev/hda1 = /boot
/dev/hda5 = /
dev/hda6 = /usr
etc...
Wihout loose data ?
