Then you can emerge again, starting with linux-headers of course [1] there's many places you can have backups - something you made yourself - off a recent install cd - someone here can mail you a tarball but the best of all is to put "buildsyspkg" in make.conf, this makes backups of all @system packages as they are merged and puts them in /var/packages. @system packages are the only things that can really nuke your ability to merge stuff (assuming you don't also nuke python or tar - that is catastrophic) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
