Sorry about that. I set it once about six hours ago, and it hadn't shown up four hours later, so I sent it again. I assumed that it had been dropped because I had neglected to properly sign up for the list before sending. I don't know where the third copy came from; double-checking my sent mailbox shows it only being sent twice. > 2.

(Does the system allow you to do > something like that?) emerge -C portage is allowed, but it only removes the files listed as belonging to the portage package (including the emerge executable); the various data directories (that occupy almost 1 GB) are untouched. My main concern is in getting everything that 'emerge -C portage' leaves behind. Rennie -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
