>From what I understand, which may be as wrong as it gets, if I use the buildpkg thing, it stores a binary in /usr/portage/packages/All/ and if I really screw up something, like portage, gcc or something like that, I can untar it to / and rescue myself from my evil doing.

One thing I can say about Linux and Gentoo, there are tons of options. Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
