So after tweaking the portage overlay tree and adding some symlinks, portage will calculate the deps for emerge -av system. But when I try to emerge the 53 packages it fails because it is trying to merge to "/".... ie: Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y >>> emerge (1 of 53) sys-devel/patch-2.5.9-r1 to / !!! File system problem. (Bad Symlink?) !!! Fetching may fail: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '' !!! No write access to / !!! File patch-2.5.9.tar.gz isn't fetched but unable to get it. ---------------- Note the "/" in the first line. Still my environment is missing something. But I'm getting closer....
