Those are recent additions to the profiles. At any rate, I only started using 
the KDE one this year.

If Laszlo has default/linux/amd64/10.0 as his profile already (that's what I 
used to do), he's going to have to do an awful lot of work with USE flags. A 
full re-installation may be easier in the end.

Any time I do a fresh installation, I back the whole thing up to external 
disk at significant stages of the operation so that I can start again (if I 
need to) from much further on.

He may find that it doesn't make much of a change, depending on which profile 
he has set now.
