World file was empty at the time of the previous post - I was still working on fixing @system. As mentioned, I was careless with copying over /var from a previous install. The problem wasn't with the world file, but with the db/pkg lists. emerge -e did not immediately fix it. However, with patience and a few continuous fixes, I now have @system back - and am currently waiting for my previous world packages to finish. Hopefully by tomorrow morning, I should be able to complete a depclean without issue... > Also, any chance you could set your mailer to send only plain text emails > to the list? > I wish! Sorry - until I have a 'proper' system working again, I am stuck with webmail... :( Thanks again for everyone's help. Phil
