Subject: [gentoo-user] Most important packages to save buildpkg of
Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2007 09:55:34 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <45B38CF6.7090506@exceedtech.net> (raw)

Hi,

Every once in a blue moon I screw up something.  I don't know why I am
telling you this.  I come here mostly for help.  LOL  So you already now
that.  I have buildpkg set in make.conf.  It does tend to consume some
space though.  What is say the top ten or twelve programs that would be
good to have in case of a rescue?  I would assume portage, gcc and
python would be pretty important.  I plan to delete the rest for space.

Since I figure some of you have more experience, I thought I would ask
you folks.  What is really needed to rescue from a serious borking of a
Gentoo install?

Also, what commands would a person have to use to make use of those
buildpkg's?  So far, I have not needed one.  < says prayer >  That
assumes portage is what is screwed up to begin with. 

Thanks

Dale
