	On my touchpad, the vfat filesystem didn't allow me to create an image of more than 4GB. I decided to restart the Gentoo installation using a "real" ext3 partition following parts of this guide : [[http://pebloy.blogspot.com/2011/09/customize-hp-touchpad.html]]. Note that doing so will require to "reset" the touchpad to defaults (but it will keep your personal files). I created a 12GB ext3 partition, and then reinstalled preware/F4/Xecutah/Govnah/etc		On my touchpad, the vfat filesystem didn't allow me to create an image of more than 4GB.

	Another small point : I had to remount / read-write in order to create /mnt/gentoo. If you remember having to do so, you should add "mount -o remount,rw /" in the setup of the loopback :)		Another small point : I had to remount / read-write in order to create /mnt/gentoo.
