It was a huge 194 package. It r= an=20 into some problems, a bunch of xlibs wouldn't install which cause futher=20 problems cascading down the list. (32 packages failed to emerge, I can=20 provide a list if you need it) Anyway I went past them with=20 emerge --resume --skipfirst. After the emerge -e xorg-x11 had finished I= =20 went back and emerged the failed packages individually. Everything emerg= ed. =20 Does that mean portage was trying to emerge the packages in the wrong ord= er? I've rebooted and my new x environment appears to be working fine. Thanks for the help Moral of the story: make back ups of critical conf files you've changed=20 yourself before embarking on major upgrades like this :-) Matt --=20 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Dr. Matthew R.
