From my experiences with Gentoo, I think I can make the following assumption about bins and what dirs they go in... /usr/bin is for common, non-system packages /bin is for system tools (rm, etc) So, emerge -e system and you should be okay. Do it from a LiveCD if necessary. -- Zack Gilburd http://tehunlose.com
