"delete old file replace with updated one" should I have followed your
method Oliver? I'll post back if there are any errors.
As I remember from your original post the culprit was /etc/make.conf -
probably not the best move to just overwrite it. make.conf is the
central portage configuration file - you'll need to reset your USE
variables (try 'emerge ufed'), mirrors (try 'emerge mirrorselect'),
C/XXFLAGS, CHOST, and all sorts of nifty stuff.
In the future, you might look at the diff merge option (#3) - it will
let you go through line by line and create a new file.
Once you get a good make.conf, copy it somewhere (/etc/make.conf.works?)
to keep it safe - it will keep you from big headaches down the road.
Good idea. You are right I had to go back through and reconfigure the
make.conf file...oh well. I'll save a backup from now on :)
