For me there were a crapload of packages to unmask, I'm betting that won't be an issue for you. :) Unless they've changed something you do have to unmerge 6.8 before starting to merge 7, so for a bit you might have issues starting new x11 programs, but I was able to do the entire changeover from within X, with kaffeine, kmail and a dozen other X applications running. I simply restarted X after I was done. Just make sure you read the official migration guide and the one on the wiki before you start and have them available while you are doing the upgrade. *goes to remove xorg 7 from his package.unmask* -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh
