SVEN created a wonderful repositor of old portage snapshots:: http://blog.siphos.be/2013/12/upgrading-old-gentoo-installations/ But, alas it has "disappeared" too? Granted the posted reason is a failure of guidexml: "Resource unavailable The requested resource uses Gentoo's retired web publication system GuideXML. As support for GuideXML was disabled on May 18, 2015, the resource can not be displayed. We hope the author provides an updated version soon. " So there is no other way to publish archived portage tree snapshots? Really? Gentoo devs should at least appreciate the frustration the gentoo_commoners experience:: since it looks like the only automated installer we're going to get on gentoo is DYI.... I'm ok with that but the simplest path (IMHO) is to just start off where the 2009 installer left off. After all, all the brilliant minds say that it cannot be be or should not be done (create and automated gentoo installer)..... James
