The one time I decided to muscle my way through updating an "obsolete" Gentoo install, I spent a very long day fixing "one more problem" and trying again. It took many more hours than a scratch install would have taken, but at some point I decided to keep going just to see if I could make it all the way through the process. I did. Then I promised myself never to try that again. You do learn alot about how portage/emerge works... -- Grant
