Did you try the not quite so hard "emerge --emptytree -a world" first?
It just recompiles your whole current system again, to make sure everything is
up to date
and has the current set of Use flags. Skips all the initial installation steps,
and keeps all
your /etc config customisations.

[gentoo-user] [SOLVED... THE HARD WAY] Major problems with libpcre / UTF8
I gave up on searching Google, and decided to nuke+repave. I'm sending
from my backup ("successor") machine. The original machine now has basic
install plus xorg-server plus icewm plus xterm. The titles on the xterm
window bars are OK, i.e. they are *NOT* missing every second letter. I
still have to install 74 apps from the backup copy I made of "world" and
configure them.
I fear that I may have to do the same with the backup machine. I run
the same configs on both machines. I haven't updated the backup machine
for 63 days, according to the warnings. Hopefully correcting make.conf
right now will save me a second reinstall.

I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe; Gopher, Netscape with
frames, the first Browser Wars. Searching for pages with AltaVista,
pop-up windows self-replicating, trying to uninstall RealPlayer. All
those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain... time to die.

Another vote for Claws here, although i use the liteHTML plugin, which seems to handle more than Dillo, but without the overhead of webkit. It can also open HTML emails in your preferred browser. -- Neil Bothwick "An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest." - Benjamin Franklin pgpewDLvqrpko.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature
