I'd personally recommend you rebuild the system. Otherwise you'll have files floating around stale on the system. Do it on your current system in a chroot. Just copy /var/cache/edb/world to /root in the chroot and after you emerge system, just do 'emerge $(<~/world)'... Hopefully your world file is populated. --NJ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Linux Developer -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
