So why does it work on my system?? And what the hell does that command do?? This to me looks like your installing every package on the system, why would you want to do that?

emerge -ep world..

As a gentoo-newbie i'd say that this would emerge everything that is listed in the world file, including it's dependencies and dependency-dependencies, but not system packages which are not part of that tree.

So,

To rebuild the box, i understand to do the following:

  (shutdown X)
  init 1

  mv /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask_off
  cd /usr/portage
  emerge *-*/*
  mv /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask_off /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask

reboot
