I do mean everything. On mine it takes a little over 48 hours. That is usually only done to fix something as a last resort or when upgrading gcc. That help?

So portage thinks that no software is installed. That's an implementation detail that used to be true but isn't any longer. That's why it no longer says [ebuild N] for all packages with -e. Doing so caused problems with circular dependencies. It just remerges everything in world and all their dependencies. Calling it 'everything' is wrong too as it doesn't do anything with packages that aren't in world or a dependency of something in world. -- Bo Andresen signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

That should get everything needed for sure. The e stands for emptytree but I always think of it as everything. If used with the option world it gets everything needed to recompile the complete system. Example: emerge -ef world Hope that helps.
