Anyway To Resize Gentoox Home V3.0

I'm using debian right now but would like to go back to Gentoox Home v3.0 but was wondering if you can make it take up less space on the HD. Debian let's you select how big to make the swap and root. The root only ends up taking a max of 2 gigs and I was wanting to do this with gentoox. Someone in chat told me I could do it with a *nix based PC but I only has access to windows. Is there anyway to do this? Would it help if I removed KDE since I never use it anyway? Someone help me out....please.

there is a tutorial in the tutorials section but I think home 3.0 may be bigger than 2GB.
You don't need a linux PC because you can use your xbox but you need to have enough on your drive for the old rootfs (3GB) and the new one you are going to create.
Then you boot up into stardust mount the two loopbacks and copy the files over.

Thanks for the info. I looked thru the FAQ's but did not even think to look thru the tutorial section.
