Thank you so much for your input! I tried first Andrew's version, but noticed that emerge didn't work any longer. So, I moved the portage directory back to its original place, reversed everything in /ect/make.conf, moved the entire /usr tree to my big empty partition, and created a s-link at the original place instead. So far everything works great. Please don't tell me I won't be able to reboot! ;-) -- Best regards, Klaus -------------------------------------- Gentoo Linux = the better choice! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
