The ebuilds of currently installed packages can also be found as /var/db/pkg///.ebuild. They are masked now, but when putting the packages in /etc/portage/package.unmask it should be possible to install them again. > A better question would be - Why do you want to? Probably in order to deal with potential migration problems later, and not risking to harm a system that is currently running fine. The migration should be a smooth one, but some manual changes have to be made, and the syntax in /etc/conf.d/net has changed. But I'd just wait with the system update, and make the switch when I have some time. Wonko
