To be sure your system will boot, you will want to do an emerge -e system and fully recompile your kernel (and reboot); you may also wish to emerge -e world if you have time. You may also want to take this opportunity to update gcc as well. Good luck. -- Neil Isaac isaac.neil@gmail.com -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
