You'll need a free partition for the new root filesystem. Just create a new filesystem on it and install a base system using debootstrap. After that you only need to tweak your grub.conf to use the new filesystem as / and you're basically done. But don't rely on my description, just google for a howto on that topic. I know that there are several on the net because I use one of them myself. J. -- I wish I was gay. [Agree] [Disagree] <http://www.slowlydownward.com/NODATA/data_enter2.html>
