How do you copy one to a stick when you need to rescue an unbootable
system? I prefer to keep the ISO in /boot, no need for a USB stick then.

OK, now i have my system successfully installed and running on my new SSD.
now i have to decide what to do with the rest of the disk (it's a 256MB

Sounds good to me. But with 12GB RAM the question is:
Do you need swap at all?

Doesn't the FHS spec say that /var/tmp should survive a reboot? So the
correct approach is to put /tmp on a tmpfs and set PORTAGE_TMPDIR
to /tmp.

should - not must have to survive. And nothing in /var/tmp/portage is
important enough. So just let it get lost.
I would not put PORTAGE_TMPDIR to /tmp because if it accidentally fills up,
you have a big problem. While a seperate tmpfs /var/tmp/portage... well
nobody cares if it is full. Yeah, eme

I can not use openssl-1.0.1c as in the example below:
wget https://qasecommerce.cielo.com.br/servicos/ecommwsec.do
I can not use openssl with ruby
Currently I use 1.0.0j is works perfectly
But some libraries depend version 1.0.1.c including libreoffice-bin
I appreciate everyone's help.
