That's the first problem. Unless you want to deal with explosions, don't set your entire system to be unstable. That's a recipe for problems. Leave the global setting at stable. Then, if you need an unstable version use /etc/portage/package.keywords to set ~x86 for just the package you want to install. > > Today in the morning I started up from scratch.

Once your minimal system up and running (always go for minimal on the initial emerge, then boot into your system, then emerge more) then you can easily do an emptytree emerge to re-build things....if you *really* want to. I'm of the mind that starting with stage3 is perfectly fine. Eventually all of those packages will be updated and recompiled, so there's really no reason to do it manually right at the beginning. One more thing. What optimization setting(s) are you using? -- Justin Patrin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
