The only damage seems to be the deletion of /var/lib/portage/config and /var/lib/portage/mysql I'm not worried about world, I can easiliy fix that over time by running emerge -p --depclean and adding world entries. There are probably only about 10 packages anyways because this is a mythtv box. But what is config all about? On my other machine it looks like the file contains a bunch of hashes for config files in /etc/. Are these used to quickly see if a file in /etc/ is different or does it just do a diff? -- David Grant http://www.davidgrant.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
