  • The real question is: Why?

    Here’s some answers to your question:

    1. Backup your data, nuke the drive, start again.
    2. chroot is the tool for the job. Backup your data before you accidentally nuke your drive.
    3. Shrink the partition and write a new one in the empty space, but backup your data before you accidentally nuke your drive.
    4. Connect an external drive, install on it, but backup your data before you accidentally nuke your drive.

    Finally, the reason that the wiki didn’t help is that the question is asked by either a person with not enough experience, or one who doesn’t need the wiki. This is a non trivial process and you should backup your data before you proceed, lest you accidentally nuke your drive.

    Edit:

    Also, anything you break can be fixed … but only if you have a backup.
