For the record, this turns out to be a fairly straightforward blocker. A recent version of portage uses new features in a recent bash, and Alex's suggestion will work just fine. I recently had to update 10+ old machines around this entirely trouble free. But using a more recent CD is probably the better idea, it's entirely possible to manoeuvre through two years of updates, but it's kinda pointless if you have a better base system at hand :-) -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
