Yes but I don't think the GTK installer does. Or, if it does, it doesn't use the updated snapshot for emerging the packages. For my own install, I ended up doing mostly a manual install once the kernel was installed. I did a --sync and then started the install of xorg and gnome. It's now running an emerge -uDN to get everything up to snuff.

It took 4 attempts to get to the install portion where I could reboot and resume the build after the emerge failed. Is there some way to have the installer run emerge --sync before it starts building the system? Actually, before compiling you have to emerge --sync, after the chroot. -- David Pyke Vice President, Research Research Dimensions 416-486-6161 800-663-2973 -- [email protected] mailing list
