After that, a full reinstall. Further examination of what's in Stage 3 + review of my detailed notes from installation last year suggest that the correct attempt wb to unpack the tarball somewhere temporary, then copy /bin /lib /sbin /usr /var into the existing set-up; also to unpack the latest Portage snapshot into /usr/portage ; after that, copy carefully selected parts of /etc . After all, I do have a working kernel + system configuration, which is partly what needs to be created during a basic install. Of course, if there's a simpler method anyone can suggest, I wb thankful. Can anyone explain why it's choking on the ELF header ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
