I get it actually replaces by a "reinstall". Does this do more than if I just reboot after emerge @system @world and then reboot? I'd be curious to know exactly what reinstall does that is not covered by just starting up a given code again? Is it that it forces a reinstall and stop/starts the binary without rebooting? Rebooting catches *everything* even better than --emptytree ? James
