I think that's a mountain and a molehill. You still have the image in /boot, config in /boot or in the running kernel, libs in /lib/modules and the bootloader is intact. Delete the sources? - Re-emerge them. 90 seconds. - Re-compile using existing config. 20 minutes So deleting the sources for the running kernel is a doh! moment. But no biggie, and certainly not cause for changing your routine (all in my own not at all humble opinion, of course) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
