Things went well. The only semi-issue that came up for me so far was the rc-sys="" variable not being set. The way upgrade doc is written I had the impression that this only mattered if I was in a machine that ran VMs on it and not to be done in the VM itself. Seems that you really want rc_sys to be set for any Gentoo install I guess. Not sure at this point how I'd tell if there was some other problem, but as far as a simple VM goes it only took about 15 minutes to complete the upgrade and it booted first time. Cheers, Mark
