sorry i havent been keeping up with the list as much as i should so i dont know if this has been addressed or not.
i recently did an emerge -uD on my gentoo laptop, its been several months since this has been done, it said that sysvinit was blocking something from being installed, so i thought to myself that the emerge would either install a new copy or it was being replaced my another package, so i unmerged it to continue with my emerge. well everything went great until i rebooted, now all i get is a "sh#" prompt when it boots and when i try to edit anything it says i only have a read only file system and i cant change anything. is my system totally hosed? or is there a way to recover from this? i would hope i dont have to reinstall from scratch it took me a while to get this laptop going. thanks for any and all help Nick -- Nick Smith a.k.a.
