Apr 17 02:59:59 <mijk> okay
Apr 17 03:01:05 <mijk> so would i be able to do this without reinstalling?
Apr 17 03:02:52 <Tootoot222> mijk: sure
Apr 17 03:02:56 <Tootoot222> just partition your drive
Apr 17 03:03:26 <Tootoot222> i would personally boot off of usb temporarilly and copy the shut down system on the flash onto the respective partitions
Apr 17 03:03:36 <Tootoot222> but you should be able to get away with copying the running system
Apr 17 03:03:48 <Tootoot222> use cp -Rp or rsync -a
Apr 17 03:04:21 <mijk> good to know, thanks
Apr 17 03:07:27 <mijk> how would i get rid of the /usr on flash?
Apr 17 03:07:47 <Tootoot222> actually you don't need to
Apr 17 03:07:59 <Tootoot222> you can just use fstab and mount over top of it
Apr 17 03:08:12 <mijk> okay
Apr 17 03:08:18 <Tootoot222> you cannot do it from a running system, but if you booted to another fs on usb or nfs you could delete it after copying it
Apr 17 03:09:35 <mijk> okay
Apr 17 03:09:53 <mijk> I'm considering buying a JTAG unit
Apr 17 03:10:37 <Tootoot222> they are very useful
Apr 17 03:10:46 <Tootoot222> for those of us who make mistakes =3
Apr 17 03:14:00 <mwester-laptop> :D
Apr 17 03:14:07 <mijk> well, if i custom set up Debian to use another location for /usr /var and /home from the get-go
Apr 17 03:16:01 <mwester-laptop> If you never trash your bootloader, then you're just not being creative enough with your plug. :)
Apr 17 03:16:16 <mijk> lol
Apr 17 06:53:30 <kerio> trashing your bootloader is l33t
Apr 17 06:53:40 <kerio> as a matter of fact, you should trash your whole nand!
Apr 17 06:55:10 <kerio> also i have my whole system on nand, is that bad? D:
Apr 17 23:57:53 <Tootoot222> kerio: well /var gets a lot of frequent writes
Apr 17 23:57:56 <Tootoot222> if you log anything
Apr 17 23:58:28 <Tootoot222> /usr, not so much, but that's where almost all packages are installed, so it might be good to have that somewhere you can restore it if it breaks
