My world file looks a little sparse: app-cdr/cdrtools media-libs/libexif www-client/opera x11-base/xorg-x11 media-video/mplayer media-video/transcode media-sound/xmms app-cdr/k3b net-p2p/gtk-gnutella media-libs/libsdl media-video/vcdimager media-gfx/imagemagick dev-libs/libcdio media-sound/sox kde-base/kde net-p2p/gift-gnutella kde-base/kdelibs www-client/mozilla-firefox app-text/acroread media-video/avifile The world file on my 2.6 system has a lot more in it, though I'm not sure that simply copying over the world file would be the right thing to do. Any suggestions about how to recover my original world file?
