As I mentioned earlier Python did appear to build without any problems but it didn't work properly after installation, and the only significant thing unpacking the Portage rescue tarball did was to overwrite my make.conf and mess up some cache somewhere. After I'd fixed the Python problem by copying /usr/lib/python2.2 from another machine I managed to fix the corrupted portage cache problem by re-emerging portage. -- ------------ Alex Holden - http://www.linuxhacker.org ------------ If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
