I was just trying to make sure he had his link right (which, as you pointed out above) I did wrong! However on this second point I think you may be wrong. /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/parent contains .. and as I understand it this points to the directory above (i.e /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/ which contains a make.defaults. Although so does /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2004.3/parent, yet /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2004.3/ contains a make.defaults, so now I am confused! -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Once your gentoo box is up and running, is there a need to update the make.profile sym link as the profile versions change? I hadn't done this in a year of using gentoo... I just made the change out of curiosity on my "~x86" system, and after an 'emerge sync' it only caused an upgrade of linux-headers. Thanks, Mike -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Note that there are some extra steps when migrating an amd64 system from 2004.x to 2005.0.

Once you have a running system, you only need to set your profile to 2005.0 and do emerge sync emerge world -uavD --newuse to have a completely up to date system.

Not quite, dont forget the profile symlink on a running system needs changing to get the 2005.0 profile.
